Though I don't blame you for having issues with squirrels. It sure sounds like they started it. We saved a baby squirrel from death once, and nursed it back to health, so I don't have the same issues. BUT, chipmunks . . . they're another story. One got into our RV once, and I didn't think we'd ever get it to leave. And another time, one tore through a window screen and stole my aunt's dinner. They're stinkers.Sugarplum Creations Bloghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15404300168941549805noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6404184853489521137.post-6526010270292664232011-04-18T18:01:40.631-06:002011-04-18T18:01:40.631-06:00Shot 4 squirrels?

I now have a story that I feel like I've shared with you already, but alas it may make squirrels even farther away from your circle of trust. <br /><br />Back in HS, my best friend and I saw a baby squirrel climbing a tree. She thought it was so cute and started calling it over, like you would a dog or cat. Well the darn thing actually came and attacked her! It clung onto her leg and she couldn't get it off. <br /><br />I'm sorry but it's making me crack up just thinking about it. So beware, they will cling with all 4 legs!EatPlayLovehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01768078593549284605noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6404184853489521137.post-5482495386214447192011-04-17T22:02:03.822-06:002011-04-17T22:02:03.822-06:00Oh you're an odd girl. we have them run back ...Oh you're an odd girl. we have them run back and forth across our back fence.

But he would get so mad he would forget he was preaching and just vent.<br /><br />I am sorry for your problem. I had a rodent in an apartment.

EV...I've never, ever been afraid of a squirrel. EVER. Until last year. Apparently they can be very aggressive during their mating season. I did not know this nor did I know squirrels had a special season for love. What I knew was that the kids and I had to get to the car and to do so, we HAD to walk by the huge tree in our yard. This pissed off the squirrel that lives in the tree and he went nuts! I also didn't know squirrels could make an almost hissing noise. Holy shit. I really thought the damn thing was going to jump on us. The kids and I hightailed it to the car. I was tempted to use my son as my shield but instead decided to take the high road and instead shield him with my body. I had to fight the self-preservation instinct though!! :o))) We went through weeks of this squirrel going crazy every time we walked by but thankfully nothing happened. <br /><br />Then on Easter that little sucker grabbed one of the kids' plastic eggs and was trying to get it open!! He had it up in the tree and everything. I was worried b/c of course all the eggs had chocolate in them and would it kill the crazy animal? I was happy when he accidently dropped the egg. I filled it with pecans instead and left it under the tree (he had already made a hole in the plastic so I knew he would be able to get the nuts.) We made him happy that day.Christinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10329101808541847741noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6404184853489521137.post-71734247936659073592011-04-15T08:53:12.268-06:002011-04-15T08:53:12.268-06:00I don't fear squirrels, but I do snakes. There...I don't fear squirrels, but I do snakes. Therefore, I can relate on some level. We have a lot of squirrels in my neighborhood... and a lot of dogs too! They stay high up in the trees or on the wires. If they venture in my grass, they better be prepared to run. My dog is sneaky and stalks them in the trees... he sits under them and stays totally focused on their every move... I think he's willing them to fall... lol! Truly, I think he'd kill one if he caught it. Honestly, I hope that never happens...Laurahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18290724980716967977noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6404184853489521137.post-75515074382714017652011-04-15T08:37:17.465-06:002011-04-15T08:37:17.465-06:00Yep.

It would rush the kids everytime they went out to play! When my husband tossed stones at it to scare it away, the squirrel pounced on them! I thought for sure there was a rabid squirrel in our yard. <br /><br />And then we discovered our next door neighbor was feeding them - out of his HAND! The squirrels thought the stones were food! <br /><br />Makes me mad to this day. Stupid Neighbor.Debhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09766716788178729762noreply@blogger.com
