Woke up this morning and found Truman our Jack Russell doing cartwheels in front of my high boy...yep the fattest chipmonk I have ever seen was nervously hiding with only his tail peeking out. I of course jumped on the nearest available chair and yelled for Bruce.
After corralling the little devil and removing Truman from the scene, the chipmonk escaped through the front door-paused-looked left then right and ran for his dear life.
We have no idea how the little critter ended up inside but with this old house I am not surprised. Truman was though!!
Glad to hear you are okay. Do you have a fireplace? It may have come in from the chimney. My sister had two squirrels that got in her house that way. I bet Truman is still looking for that little sucker! Marly

Truman's been pacing all day. Poor fella.
We think it got in from the basement door sometimes it swings open on its own. Ghosts???
A few years ago my daughter found a baby rabbit in her room. No kidding...we still laugh about that. We have had a regular menagerie of critters in this old house.
My biggest worry is a chipmunk will sneak in to our house. We have tons of the little buggers all over the yard. Every time I look out a window here something zips by. I hope no more critters come a calling by you!
