Unwelcomed Company

Tonight Ben was a real sweetheart and decided to cook me dinner. He made steaks outside on the grill for us. It was a wonderful meal. Little did we know that at some point while Ben was cooking dinner, a furry little "critter" decided to join us. Ben discovered that a squirrel had snuck into the condo and had hid under the bed. Now being the city kids that we are, we had NO idea on how to catch this thing! Of course we call Ben's brother Zak to help us with our animal control problem. We ended up blocking the perimeter of the bed with clothes, and proceeded to corral the squirrel into Critter's (the cat's) sky kennel. Below are some pictures of our furry friend! What an interesting night!

Here is our furry friend hiding under Ben's bed.
After we had successfully "shooed" him into the kennel.

He's a curious little guy!
Ben was proud of his catch! Good job Ben! You're my hero ;)

That is really Funny,,, sorry maybe it was not for you guys.
It makes me think how Dad always tells me to " Close the doors, someday a critter is going to get in the house." Don't let him know he is right.
Good squirrel catcher, and good husband material that Ben.
Love, Mama
