      You could go with Vinny, which is a diminutive form of the name Vincent or Vinnie. Or you could go with Lavinia, for Vinny is used as a nickname or again a diminutive. Or, you could just go out on a limb (pun intended) and call her Ralph or George..... why not. Why does she have to have some traditional female name. George would work anyway as a nickname for Georgette. I went to high school with a girl who was called George. She was just called George. We all called her George in school. Even the teachers called her George (as her request). She just somehow when she was little got tagged with George. She liked it.

      I like the name Bettina, it's an Italian name short for Benedetta. You can shorten it to Betty. I like the sound of Brock and Betty.

    This was nice. We set up a running wheel for our squirrel, and it took him weeks to even interact with it. Squirrels are on their own schedule. Also, squirrels tend to build their nests in the highest practical spots in trees for safety reasons. Super happy for you that they accepted the house. Hope they're doing well.

    I was wondering how you were going to get the squirrels to vacate the attic and take up residence in the new house. It’s probably a good idea to close off their entry point to the attic to make sure they don’t decide to move back.

    You should have trimmed the branch that is almost touching your roof while you were up there, that's how the squirrels get onto the roof in the first place, correct? How did the squirrels get in the attic in the first place, did they chew through a soffit?

    • @michael.gianotti

I always buy him nuts for when I see him. Since he hangs around the building we live in looking for food. But it’s so cold I feel bad since it’s so cold, and snowy. I wanted to make him a Squirrel house I don’t know how I need my own Dave.

    This was absolutely hilarious. I sincerely appreciate your efforts AND your tenacity to get the devil duo out of your house.
    Many years ago I lived in a place that had a hole in the attic, so I can empathize with your lack of sleep. Unfortunately I didn’t have a team of handy guy pals to come to my rescue, so I had to take the situation into my own hands as best as I could. I didn’t have the money to fix the roof, so I bought a ‘have a heart’ trap and for months, proceeded to ‘rehome’ them. The count one year was over 78 gray squirrels!! (And then came the red squirrels and a raccoon family….)🤦🏼‍♀️ I adore animals and didn’t want to hurt them. It’s illegal in my state to move them from the property, but the thought of hiring an exterminator was repugnant to me, so this was my solution….
    I’m so happy you had a successful outcome. I ended up moving….
