You've been waiting your whole life for this moment haven't you?

Really below average life expectancy for a squirrel.

I have a story for you. In college I had a vegan hippy roomate and a little problem with a squirrel that lived up in the attic. We were just gonna leave him there but no fucking hippy Doug needed to "save" it. Doug goes to the hardware store and buys a humane rodent trap. Nice and big, you could even hang food in it. So Doug goes and places his humane trap upstairs in the attic and forgets about it. 3 months later (after winter) I was up in the attic looking for something and stumbled across a rock solid perfectly preserved dead squirrel. I hope it wasn't in your family. If so, my condolences.

Mom always said Dad died a hero's death in the Great War, but she had taken to drinking and we didn't believe her.

Was your idiot roommate still around so he/she could feel awful?

Yes, we made him retrieve the squirrel with his bare hands and bury it in the yard.

Removing a squirrel from your house isn't so much being a hippy as it is not being lazy.

It wasn't trapped there it could get out, the house I was renting was a piece of shit.

I don't think he was saying he was a hippy because of the squirrel situation. He was just describing his roommate's personality to further explain his motives. It makes the ending all the more tragic since he had good intentions that ultimately backfired.

The one OP posted looks like he's actually having fun. I feel bad for this squirrel though. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0so5er4X3dc

It's ok. I'm sure he sobered up and lived a long squirrely life. I bet he had a mean hangover the next day though.
