Squirrels...

We (my roommates and I) have a tendency to leave the door to our porch open during the day, basically for fresh air and to allow for the puppies to go in and out at their leisure.

The last week and a half, I've walked around the corner to see squirrels running out the door. And one time, I was chilling on the couch reading, when a squirrel creeped in and Dodger, my parrot, threw him a nut... and as the squirrel started to eat, I said something, startled the squirrel, and it vanished out the door.

Monday, as I'm getting ready for class, my roommates fiance` walks up and says with a smile.. "you have a pet squirrel." I shoot him a look and go downstairs with him, when I find a squirrel in Dodger's cage. Apparently there were two in there when he walked down initially. one had jumped out of the cage and ran into the house, and so to keep the other from doing the same, he closed the door. So this squirrel is jumping all around in this 6 foot cage, eating out of dodger's bowl.. jumping some more, crawling all over the inside of it, when it stops where I am standing. So decide to pet it. And as I'm scratching its stomach, he seems to calm down, I turn the cage, open the door, and he jumps out the door back to his real home!
