Alvin has moved in




AS I was eating my oatmeal this morning, I caught a quick blur in the corner of my eye. Shit. A mouse and it looked quite big and hairy in the tail region. I do not dig the vermin world at all. So I mildly freaked out, went upstairs to my room and got on the computer for some work. Not 20 minutes later, I see the little thing racing in. I t is a chipmunk and when it is inside is just like a mouse or rat to me. Ewwwww. I said eek-a-mouse and ran downstairs to get Nell the Wonder Dog. Nell reluctantly came upstairs and did NOTHING. Apparently Labs don't deal with chipmunks. But I am truly more wigged about a chipmunk in the house than a bear right outside. I now have both doors wide open giving him a big hint to LEAVE and am hoping the bear does not misconstrue the open door as an invitation to come in and have a little revenge on Goldilocks.

2 weeks ago, a co-worker had a chipmunk in her car. It would not leave!
Most especially when she kept leaving water and fruit in the car at night.

I think her cat eventually got into the car and ate it.
Apparently, cats are the key to chipmunk removal.

I don't have a cat but the giant black Lab is not responding at all.
