West Would - Welcome "Gift" (?)

The ramblings of a new resident of Westwood

You've no doubt heard the old expression, "the pitter-patter of little feet."  Well, on our first-week anniversary of making Westwood our new hometown, we heard FOUR of them.  Where, you ask?  In our attic, of course.  Even though we live in the downtown section, there are enough trees around to bless our attic with a Westwood Squirrel.

It's not the way we wanted to help local businesses in our first week, but we called a Westwood/Washington-based animal control company that promptly removed our furry friend.  I even took a (caged) photo for your enjoyment.  Don't worry, he/she will be set free somewhere.

The last time I checked, the CARDINAL is Westwood's mascot.  Uh, no thanks.  We'll stick to good-ole Rocky the Squirrel.
