I am laughing so hard. Squirrels are insane! They kind of like raccoons in the sense that they are smart and calculating. Hats off to the cool neighbor too! Your story is super funny.

I had one living in my backyard that ended up in my basement and infested it with fleas. I got it out and then had someone trap and relocate it to a wooded areaa in Fairfax. When they opened the trap there wasn't one, but seven of them in the trap - marsupials as so cool. Sadly though, days later I found an eighth one that got left behind. It was the size of a small kitten. I picked it up with a towel and put it in a box and gave it to a wildlife rescue group. I felt awful that I had separated it from it's family, but having a colony of opposums in a small DC patio is not so great. Opposums are all around DC.

We're not that close to Rock Creek at all, but there it was. We've also seen raccoons in the backyard and the coyote walking down Varnum was the best. Life is never dull in Petworth.

They thought they had chased it out, but the next morning she started typing and her fingers landed in some nasty goo. The squirrel had used her keyboard as a toilet. She found it under the futon in her office and tried to get it out, but it just taunted her. She finally had to call animal control who couldn't get it to leave by the usual method - open window and broom - so had to catch it and release it back outside. She also swears that it was just laughing at her! My sister had a squirrel in her house last week.
