I left the door open to the outside and went into the kitchen to do some dishes. When I came back out to the family room, there was a little brown animal with brown eyes and a thin tail looking up at me. I almost passed out because I didnt expect to see him. It was being pretty friendly with my dog who seems friendly with him. I thought he was a baby squirrel until I seen his tail was not fluffy. He probably weighed a pound.
My daughter says it has been running around in our yard and snacking off the front deck. She thinks its not a big deal because she said when she and her brother were here at home alone about a couple years ago, he ran up into the water spout and they tried to blow him out with bottle rockets.
If he is a harmless little varmin, I would rather not mess with him. Currently, I am not so sure he is not still in the house here with me. Its putting me a little on edge.
Do you think this is a chipmunk? We live in illinois.
