Holy Snowballs Batman There’s A Squirrel In Our Basement!

I just read your post, Amy. I have never flown before either. I’m sad.

I took Little Bit outside, and I can honestly say that the snow here is comparable to dust. It’s EVERYWHERE!!! It’s an actual blizzard and when Little Bit was walking in it, trying to go potty, it was up to his tummy. Almost as tall as he is! I don’t know if the neighborhood wolves are liking this storm, but I still feel for them.

Anyway, the story of the infamous squirrel….

A long time ago (yesterday), there was a princess (my name means that in Hebrew) messing around in the kitchen. All of a sudden, she heard a crash downstairs like glass breaking. She didn’t know what to think, was Amy down there (no, she’s in NY.) Was Dad down there doing something? Or was there a mouse down there that Amy never got to? She decided to check it out. She opened the door to the basement and walked down the steps. (She had no weapon so what if it was a burglar? Pretty brave!) She didn’t see anything when she got down there. But she heard scuttling. She thought there was a mouse inside a box, chewing on the box. So she went towards the sound and there, on the furnace pipe that leads outside, was a squirrel. It was running up and down the pipe, trying to find a way outside. The princess didn’t have anything to catch it (or a camera :-()

So she went back upstairs and told her prince about the event. The princess couldn’t stop laughing. Later, when the prince was up, they went downstairs to see if the squirrel was still there. We knocked on the vent duct, the ceiling, looked everywhere. Either it’s still in hiding or it found a way out. They cleaned up the mess it made (a broken jar with the word ‘utensils’ on it. SORRY!!) Some utensils on the floor and they looked around to see if anything else was broken or unplugged. After some more searching around and finding nothing, the prince and the princess when back upstairs. The princess couldn’t stop laughing. They thought they would wait until the next day, see if the squirrel pops up. The princess asked how the hell a squirrel got into the basement and the prince explained that it probably fell into the chimney and down.

So, the prince and princess believe the squirrel to be gone. Until they smell something funny and then they will know that there is a dead squirrel somewhere. But that’s another story that hasn’t happened yet.

Oh! Pictures of the blizzard!!!
