...and all thru the house, a creature was stirring and it was BIGGER than a mouse!!!!!!!!!!!!!
After some long weeks of Christmas prep, Brian and I sat down for some Christmas Eve wrapping when all of a sudden there was a scurrying in the fireplace. Now I don't know about you, but I have never seen a flying squirrel before and I had no idea what I was looking at until I googled "rodent with big eyes and flat fuzzy tail"! Let's just say after three hours of trying to outsmart the thing, he ended up on top of the armoire. The info I found on flying squirrels said that they can sail up to 160ft. I don't know about that but Brian can attest to the fact that they can jump from the top of the armoire to the opposite side of the living room in a single bound. He and Rosey managed to get it back into the fireplace and seal it off but I will tell you that we opened gifts with that ninja the next morning and it wasn't until 24 hours after he made his grand entrance through our chimney that we managed to trap him in a jar and reacquaint him with the great outdoors. A truly funny story after the fact but it made for a very long and tiring Christmas Eve.
