I love squirrels!!! In fact, they are amongst the only rodents I even like. They DO get annoying though!!!

Several years ago, when we used to live in our old townhouse, and squirrel chewed on our chimney, until it got a huge hole in it. It was winter at the time, and it was a VERY rainy winter. VERY. I think it rained continuously for like 5 months..........I am serious. Anyway, the squirrel did that one day before we were going on vacation. We did not have time to have anyone come and fix it, so we put a HUGE bucket in the fireplace before we left, worried that our house would be flooded when we got back.

Two weeks later, we returned....................the bucket was flooded, the carpet by the fireplace was DRENCHED, but the house wasn't TOO flooded, so all was well. We were stressed out the whole trip because of that though.

But I love them anyway. They're SOOOOOOOO CUTE, especially when they eat!
