Another Squirrel story

[Don Hines]

I had to evict Mamma and her babies last Spring. Now, just as we are about ready to put this one on the market. She has made another appearance. I found a new hole and explored it and removed her new nest before the babies arrived.
I thought that was the end of it. But, a couple of weeks ago I started hearing noises that I interpreted to be squirrels either fornicating or having the babies. I have really been depressed because the house is so close to ready other wise and the location of these noises I heard indicated I will have to tear out some sheet rock. My wife confirmed that she heard the little buggers too.
Yesterday, when I completed some appliance installation, I heard them in the kitchen. I have never heard them before in there. They had to have traveled through the attick or walls to be where I heard the noise. So, I sat in the attick with my pellet pistole looking forward to the squirrel and dumplings I would have later on. Nothing no noise new nest; nothing. As soon as I resumed work, I heard them again.
This story could get real long if I told you everything I did for the next hour. I was commited to shoot through the wall if I could pin point them. When I realized they were following me around the house and only made noise when I moved around, I reasoned it must be me.!! I discovered my shoes were pooting. I put some Doctor Shole's inserts in a couple of weeks ago; just about the time I started hearing the squirrells fornicating. I removed them just to be sure and the squirrells went away. I even showed the wife that I could repeat the noise at our house too.
I had to take my shoes apart to understand why this was happening. Rubber in the shoes in contact with rubber in the inserts will make a poot that sounds like what you would think a squirrel giving birth sounds like.
