Just to keep everyone in the loop, Mrs. A.'s flying squirrel pal made a brief reappearance the other day. We learned that he was back when Ted came running out of his room yelling to Tessa that an "oversize iguana" came out of his closet. Tess went in to investigate, just in time to see the squirrel bolt for 'Drew and Chaz's room. I wonder why they always head there. Anyhow, he hid out there for a while, then later emerged from under the door, ran down the stairs, and we are 99% sure that he left into the night via the front window we left open for him. At least we think so. We are pretty sure, yep. No question. In any event there has been no sign of him since.
Luckily the big fat raccoon that I surprised just before he raided our trash has stayed outside the house. Phew!
