Texas Troublemaker

Jacob and I flew back to Michigan last night. When we were still in Texas last week, we repeatedly caught a squirrel chewing on the swing cushion in our backyard. I can't be certain, but I think it was taking the stuffing out of the seat to create a winter lair. No matter how many times we chased the furry fiend away, it inevitably returned for more nest material. At first Jim thought we could just repair the cushion, but it soon became apparent that we were no match for a determined squirrel. We caught the critter in the act numerous times, but it always scampered away before I could take a picture. I was eventually able to snap a photo of the destructive thief from inside the house.

The initial damage to our swing cushion.

If you look closely, you can see the culprit on the seat having a great time.
