Norman the Naughty Squirrel

Hello everyone! Let me introduce you to Norman the curious, thieving squirrel. Yesterday as I was out in our garage looking around, I heard a strange noise. The noise seemed to be moving about me amongst the many trash boxes we have currently out there. All I could think about was a rat. I didn't know wheter to run or flush the rat out. Because I hadn't yet found what I was looking for, I decided to stand my ground. I picked up a broom and started beating on the boxes. As I stood with visions of a rabid rat charging me a big fat grey squirrel ran out of the garage.

This morning I was sitting by our front window looking out when I saw him scampering across our front yard to our neighbors open garage. Our garage was closed so I guess he had to loot a different house. I waited and waited to see if he would emerge. Finally, he ran out of the garage, around the yard to the neighbors back yard and up their fence, where I took his first picture. As I watched him, he was carrying something big, dark and round in his mouth. He had taken something out of their garage. He sat on their fence and looked like he was examining his booty for the day.

This is just the beginning of Norman (Norm as Joe said to name him) the thieving squirrel. Stay tune for future installments.
