How nice of you to drop in

As we drank our coffee on the couch this morning, we hear a shuffle coming from the fireplace, the insulation stuffed into the chimney shifts, and out plops this little guy: Glaucomys volans, a flying squirrel. Max decided to sleep in this morning so he missed all the excitement.

Did you keep him as a pet? He looks really cute.

How did you get him out?

He wasn't skittish at all, so it was pretty easy to trap him in a box and let him go outside. Maybe he was somebody else's pet?

Glad to see you remembered your latin!
