And behind door number 3 ...

[dreamshark]

... is squirrel #3. This one managed to escape the trap somehow (probably streaking out the door of the trap as it was closing - those little buggers are FAST). It was then sufficiently full of adrenaline to crawl under the closed attic door and run down to the kitchen for a snack. Then it came back to the 2nd floor to explore, which is where I surprised it. Now it's hiding in Amber's Room behind the daybed. I reset the trap and put it in the same room. If this is the squirrel that triggered the trap this morning, it should know better than to venture into that trap again. But squirrels are forever caught between their cocky inquisitiveness and their better judgement, so you never know.

I am so sorry. I could not stand to be in your house right now.

They really like finding food, too, so I hope you are fortunate and the squirrel is trapped this time.

We haven't had a squirrel in the house for quite some time, though they do keep trying. They never like it when they get here, though.

I would not mind being there, but it would probably serve no purpose, as you are doing everything reasonable.
