Obviously Brad is not alone in his suspicion of squirrels. While trying to research what our little squirrel neighbor is saying when he swishes his tail and “chit-chit-chits” at our pets, I ran across what may be the funniest site I’ve ever seen. It happens to be devoted to the organized efforts on the part of the squirrel race to dominate the world. I especially liked the page about whether there are squirrels in heaven.
A Site Devoted to the Threat of Squirrel World Domination

Isn’t Sabrina the webmaster of that site???
Hmmm….you can add the England household to the list of squirrel invasion spots. It’s been a few years but Richard found a little ‘friend’, alive and well, swimming in the toilet (while we were dating, thank goodness – I didn’t have to deal with it!) and then a few months after the wedding a family of squirrels moved into the attic. I can say that we were victorious in winning back our home – at least so far anyway!!
The “long story” about me and squirrels that Jessica referred to in her newsletter also involved a toilet. When I was in elementary school, I would simply walk the block and a half to and from school every day. One afternoon when I got home from school, I went to use the bathroom. I lifted the toilet seat and to my horror found a somewhat water-logged but still very much alive squirrel. I slammed down the seat and ran out of the bathroom as fast as I could. When my parents finally got home from work, they found me curled up in the fetal position on the couch. Barely able to speak from fright, I finally managed to tell them, “squirrel…..toilet…” Luckily my dad had a fishing net and was able to coax the varmint out of the toilet and into the net without incident. He was then released back into the wild in our backyard. To this day, I still pause for second every time before raising a toilet seat.
