Oh yes, it continues. Remember how I was complaining in December that we were experiencing some interrupted sleep due to these cute, fuzzy adorable little creatures that were throwing the world's biggest rave in our attic?
Yeah well, they're still there.
So in the middle of one of their jam sessions (I swear I heard one of them cooning some MJ) Adam declared that it was time to go to war cause apparently our house isn't big enough for two humans, a dog and a small army of squirrels.
Critter control was immediately summoned to inspect the situation and discovered that the smart little buggers had chewed a hole through a piece of wood and scampered their way inside to the attic. Well, gee. I could've told ya that. It's not like they apparated into there.
Anyway, after this 'surprising' discovery, the critter-whisperers set a few traps up on the roof and left them for a few days with hope that we could catch some dinner. They came back today to check the traps and inspect the attic again, finding that we had indeed managed to outsmart TWO of the squirrels that inhabited our attic.
And then I cried. The critter-man came walking up my steps holding the squirrel in it's little cage. And it looked so helpless...and I'm well aware that by law the squirrel has to go to squirrel heaven a meadow filled with sunshine and rainbows after leaving my house.
Sob.
I'm teary-eyed over a RODENT. A LOUD rodent.
Pull it together.
Right. Well, the traps have been reset and we're anxiously awaiting some more catches and perhaps some peace and quiet during the wee hours of the morning.
at least he didn't bring down a DEAD rodent. EWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW

I also found myself feeling sorry for a little frozen mouse outside my garage - the same ones who I cursed when they invaded my garage last winter and made a mess in many a boxes. Hope you have some peace and quiet soon!
