Couple Stunned To Find Squirrel In Their Toilet

[matcom]

<snip>

After 23 years as a plumber and pipe fitter for General Motors Corp., LuAnn Crim thought she had seen just about everything that could end up in a toilet.

Then came that recent Sunday morning and a brand-new discovery ...

Crim was in the bathroom at her home in Perrinton, north of St. Johns. She had just combed her hair, applied a dab of lipstick and was adding a little eye makeup, when the water in a nearby toilet sloshed.

"That shouldn't be happening," Crim said to herself.

As if in reply, the water sloshed again.

"I looked in there," Crim wrote, "just as a very wet, bedraggled, dark-colored ANIMAL swam up out of the toilet trap and scrambled to get out."

Just before she screamed, Crim thought: Sewer rat.

Only later did it occur to her that her house isn't connected to any sewer; it uses a septic system.

But at the moment when the toilet creature was struggling to join Crim in her bathroom she wasn't thinking clearly.

"I screamed again," she wrote. "And again."

9. It must have gone down the vent stack and couldn't turn around ..

to get out. I have a ton of Squirrels around my house and they get into everything. One of them got caught in a down-spout of my rain gutters and couldn't get out. It was scratching and clawing like crazy. I finally had to take it apart to let it out.

she laughed and laughed...
because she knew there weren't any nuts up there.
