hadn’t caught them yet. A friend of mine came over to pick me up and I saw two of them in the front yard tree.

I told him they were living in the attic so he tossed me a lacrosse ball he had in his car and told me to hit it. We spent 20 mins trading off throwing the ball up at them but never came close.

Finally he threw it and it broke a branch one if them was on. It fell to the ground but squirrels can survive that high of a fall no problem. So as it ran back toward the tree the other one came running down the tree as if to check on his friend. The ball landed right in front of me and like a short stop throwing to first base I grabbed it and launched it at the base of the tree where the bigger one was running down.

It made a thud sound as I could see I made contact right behind its head. It fell to the grass flopped like a fish for 10 seconds and then just lay there. At this point the one who fell from the tree ventured down sniffed his friend and I kid you not glared at me.

Our ultimate goal was achieved of killing the squirrel but wow it felt weird to have actually done it.
