My apartment was robbed!!!!!!!!!!

... by a squirrel. Little bugger chewed through my metal screen, made a mess out of one of my potted plants, and chewed up a loaf of bread.



I'm kind of in shock. This is the second bizarre animal thing to happen today.

Wow, did you have an encounter then or did the perp leave the scene before you got there?

Sorry, about that, it really sucks!

a squirrel AND a ferret, buddy, its your lucky day! haha

Lesson of the day. Don't leave food by the window. hahahaha. Looks like he took one bite and was like "Sara Lee Whole Wheat? Freaking dieting humans!"

Yikes!! Those little things are resourceful!! :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

Hahahaha, check the potted plant. He might have stuck a acorn in there. That happened to me many many times, they filled up all my potted plants on my porch then one day I came out and they were frantically digging my plants up....

Oh and......good to see you eating that whole wheat baby!

Achievement Unlocked for the squirrel. :laugh:

I'm considering getting a humane trap so I can catch the perp in the act, and then take him to the wildlife reserve. Only reason I might not is, I know there is a mommy squirrel who hangs out on our awning, and I wouldn't want to take her from her babies.

Oh well, at least they're not going hungry :laugh:

Sadly I didn't catch it in action, though I'm sure that would have been quite awkward for both of us.

Went on a camping trip years back with some college friends; bachelor party gone wrong. Regardless, we were up all night cooking food over the fire. We all seemed to pass out around 2am. I'm in my sleeping bag and I kept hearing this crunching sound. I sit up. The fire is already out. I shine my light over by the park bench. Sure enough, about a dozen `coons ransacking all the food we had left out. One had this big bag of dorito's open with his two little paws...while his buddy had his entire head stuck down in the bag, munching away. He looked up at me and hissed like I was ruining his night. Little basterds.

Hahaha, that's classic. Possums hiss too, scariest thing to hear in the middle of the woods at night!
Guessing you were a country boy?

Country boy? ha! Not nessarily. I grew up in a small rural town south of Topeka Kansas. Couple years at Kansas State Univ in Manhattan. Lived for 10 years downtown Kansas City. Oklahoma, Virginia, Iraq, Pakistan, Afghanistan. Now settled down in another small rural town. I like it small. But we're like 20 minutes from downtown Kansas City. So you don't have to drive far to enjoy the city. Midwest is great, cause you don't have to go that far to get to a Lake or place to campout.
