Those squirrels can really mess with your mind!. I looked out the back door one day and spotted a squirrel spread out on the garage roof. We had very tall trees in our yard and I figured he had fallen out of one of them and come crashing down. I felt so bad for the poor little dead thing. Of course I had to get him off of the roof so I went in to the garage and got the ladder, leaned it up against the side of the garage and started my climb. When I got to the top of the ladder I saw that his eyes were open and following my movement. Of course that made me feel worse. The poor little thing was paralized! So down I climbed and went into the house for towels and a shoe box. Then back up the ladder. Very bravely I climbed out on to the roof and approached the poor little lame squirrel. As I reached to put the towel around his limp little body he shot off like a rocket. It scared the snot out of me and I almost fell off the stinkin roof trying to save a sunbathing rodent!
Now don't get me wrong, I was really happy he was alright but I could have shot him there for a minute!
