After a late night reading my spy novel I groggily awoke to the annoying wail of my alarm clock. I stumbled down stairs to grab some clothes out of the dryer; all the while still rubbing sleep from my eyes. As soon as I got to the bottom of the stairs my heart began to race- someone was down there and not being very quiet about it. I proceeded into the room cautiously and quickly realized the intruder was in the laundry room. I hoped for half a second that it was just a mouse but knew almost as soon as I considered it that no mouse could make a noise that big. Was it Madj Al-Din, the assassin from my book? I peeked in and saw no one but could tell they were behind the dryer that I had pulled out from the wall a couple feet the day before.
I came closer and saw the flexible vent duct thrashing about violently like a snake being electrocuted. Relieved it wasn't a person but aprehensive because I still didn't know what it was I began trying to figure out what it could be; a squirrel or perhaps a rabbit? I shook the hose and saw as the mystery creature moved out of the vent and into the back of the dryer where I heard claws on metal, whatever was in there I did not want to have to touch it. I grabbed a 5 gallon work bucket from the garage, detached the hose from the wall and shoved it in the bucket to trap the animal when it came out. I turned on the dryer to scare it out and was shocked when I realized my bucket was not going to hold the intruder.

OH MY GOSH!! That is crazy...we are actually laughing, but still..what the?? Anyway, it was good to see you guys last week and good luck with your new pet birdies!
HOLY COW!! How in the world did those birds get in there?? Quite an entertaining story, that's for sure!! Crazy!
What is so funny is that Eric and I have had this exact same thing happen to us. Although we weren't lucky enough to trap them in the laundry room. They flew all over the house until we could scare them out the front door. Those darn birds love the heat from the dryer and make little nest in the vent going outside. Good luck getting rid of them!
Hahahahaha. That's hilarious. I am sure Candace is thrilled. Good luck getting rid of them.
That is too funny! I think you are sick for first wanting to send a cat after them, but quickly concluded that my hubby would do the exact same thing and LOVE it!
