We’re doomed.

As many of you know, we’ve battled a certain red squirrel in the past.

.

.

She’s chewed holes in our barn, our garage and our wood shed.

.

.

She’s gnawed her way into the eaves of our home and given birth to a large brood we physically had to evict. She attacked my husband when he was cleaning gutters and built a nest in his truck engine, destroying wires that required it to be towed to the repair shop. I could go on, but I think you get the gist.

She’s a menace.

So the other day… when I saw she had a friend?

.

.

I was concerned, but before I could fully process the horror? I saw this…

.

.

Four!

There are now four red menaces in residence.

We’re doomed.

😫

      1. We only have a few random chipmunks and in spite of chewing through my chaise and half lounges, no other damage. I ordered two regular size chaise lounges from Costco, because I couldn’t find anyplace to reorder the off size cushions. Custom made was too expensive. Critters!

      1. Cathy has a degree in fish and wildlife management, so I thought she would take a dispassionate, scientific view of the situation. What did she say? “But they’re so CUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUTE!”

  8. I don’t think it’s a she. I think it’s a he, and given the level of aggression, terror, and destruction, they should immediately be named Donald and JD, and the rest you can choose from Ivana, Baron, Melania, Donald Jr. etc.

  9. We don’t have red squirrels, eastern gray and black. They all seem content to remain outside. One black squirrel got trapped in the garage once. We trapped him, let him go and fixed the hole.
