10. Don't panic when the flying squirrel is in your living room. You will think of something. You have 4 college degrees between the two of you!9. Chasing him around the house with a broom is not a good idea.
8. Opening all the windows in the house will only attract more critters.
7. Letting the fat out-of -shape cat in the house to take care of the problem will only create a mess you won't want to clean up!
6. He won't leave on his own. Shutting the bedroom door at night with all your food in the "safe zone" only makes you feel better...he is still in the house.
5. Do not, under any circumstance, allow the labs to go squirrel hunting in the house. See #7 regarding messes.
4. The shotgun in the house only has deer slugs in it, again see # 7. (Beware house invaders)
3. Yelling at each other when the squirrel is running around won't make him leave, even though it works on human guests.
2. The humane critter cage from the farm store won't work with just peanut butter. Flying squirrels are smart! After all why would he eat peanut butter when he ate most of your tootsie roll pops.
1. Trapping him in a small room with open windows (a tree conveniently outside), a broom, and two encouraging humans did the trick. Not after squawking by Sean and me as he ran around the room. No tasks it too big for us!

I'll be going home to change my pants as I just peed in them picturing you and Sean doing all of that!! At least you knew to yell at the squirrel instead of Sean for eating your tootsies :)
