Additional Comments:
I Recall:
I recall the time a squirrel found it's way into their home on Van Buren St, 
Tecumseh, Michigan.  Adding to the excitement was a white poodle doing what 
comes natural to a dog.  My husband went over to aid in getting the squirrel 
outside where it belonged.  Finally, after a bit, the squirrel was outside.  
The poodle didn't calm down for a couple of days due to the scent of the 
squirrel in their home.  The only true damage was not to their home, only to 
the curtains in an attempt of the squirrel to escape.  No one was hurt, the dog 
was not injured, just traumatized through it's attempt to save the day.
