They’re vicious little critters

I have had a long time fascination with squirrels. I know how sad it sounds, but it’s true. I often ask Rebecca if we can have one for a pet, and she has told me numerous times that you are to never feed rodents in the city. I have only suggested doing such things, never actually done it.

A family today told how a squirrel went berserk and trashed their house after falling down their chimney.

Retired engineer Alan White, 67, and his wife Janice, 65, came home from a weekend away to find their lounge had been ransacked, causing thousands of pounds worth of damage.

The couple initially feared burglars had broken into their home in Cheltenham, Gloucestershire, but the culprit was found to be a squirrel which had left sooty paw prints all over the room.

The trapped rodent had tried chewing through the window frames and tore the curtain and settee to shreds in a desperate bid to escape. [guardian]

Yeah, it’s never going to happen. It doesn’t help that even I have some sort of struggle with wild animals as pets and all the rest of the things that rights activists would have problems about having such rodents in captivity, blah blah blah.
