Invasion of the dream takers...

Sounds horrific.. it almost is!! I like squirrels. Always have. Some of my earliest memories are being in the graveyard in our local area feeding squirrels bisucits. We only have the grey ones here in England. I think the Jersey Isles may have the red ones but on the mainland we don't. But what to do what to do....

A few weeks ago, I was in this room, (where else would I be?) and heard a scrambling sound outside...so stuck my head out the window and it was to see a grey squirrel almost outside my bedroom window and I am up probably at least 25 feet. I don't know who was more scared, the squirrel or I. As he took one look at me and took a kami kaze leap down onto the ground. I on the other hand screamed and held my breath till I saw he landed safely. (not sure why this squirrel couldn't scream for itself..but there you go) but last few weeks, I've had a suspicion something is living in our loft/attic. Noises of scratching and sometimes small bumping keeps me awake or sometimes wakes me up. A woman about ten doors up a few weeks ago, had someone in because she had squirrels in her loft/attic. When we had dogs living here, the squirrels kept well away from the house. (they are not stupid) but since I have been dogless now for almost two years, when Scampi died, (alas poor yorick..oh sorry, wrong blag) they have an open run pretty much. So, the question tonite would be, how would I know before calling anyone to look, if I had squirrels in my loft/attic? As this is only a wild guess, and my imagination runs riot at times. And if I do have squirrels in the loft/attic and call someone to get rid of it/them, will this involve murdering squirrels? |
