candles on the hearth tipped
candy dish on top of my 5' tall secretary toppled
It looked like someone was in our house looking for something... but, what?
Picture frames and little items that used to sit on the windowsill in the kitchen were knocked over.
(that is what my kitchen looks like on a normal day)
More toppled pictures in the back of the house...
We were really beginning to panic, and then we took a closer look...
Our intruder was of the furry variety!
Squirrel? Cat? Raccoon?! eek.
Little paw prints left as evidence!
Crime solved. Kinda.
We never found the culprit. We're guessing he left the same way he came in
(through the chimney).
Weird, huh?
I was reading and instantly thought...animal. I had a cat that used to do all the things you mentioned. The places that cat got into amazed me. Glad it wasn't worse.
ReplyDeleteSanta Cat? :)
ReplyDeleteha!!
DeleteGlad it was not the two legged variety.
ReplyDeleteThose little paw prints make me think it's a raccoon- I think that you can seal off your fireplace and still be able to use it. Eek!
ReplyDeleteWe did, don't you worry! gross!!
DeleteI got chills when I first starting reading this, thinking "What kind of creep would just move random items?!" but then I saw the paw prints. You got a slight giggle out of me because my heart is still racing from panic. ;)
ReplyDeleteHa! Me too!! I was in full panic mode.
DeleteOh I was thinking bird!!! And I'm terrified of birds/bats- anything that can fly at me. Snakes, rats, etc--yeah, I'm not a fan, but I can cope. Birds-- not a chance.
ReplyDeleteSo glad mostly everything was ok!
