A squirrel (Mis)Adventure

Hi reader,
Hope you like  my blogs ☺

How would you perceive a story with squirrels in it? Cute, funny even emotional. But you probably won't think about unexpected or mysterious, and tragic as well would you? Well, today's blog is just that 😶

Here's how it went.......

A few days ago, I noticed that there was a bad smell while I was brushing my teeth in the sink of the utility room, But I thought it was just the smell of the shells of the prawns that we had eaten before. Days went by and we continued to ignore the smell (I was confused because the smell continued even after the shells were thrown out). But yesterday I finally realized that the smell wasn't coming from the prawns at all, but from the tap water we were using. Then we decided to check the tank. The problem was that the tank was on a very high place, so with the help of a phone and a long stick we captured some photos of inside the tank. I reviewed the photos later and couldn't believe my eyes 😲


No, its not a frog. It was a squirrel, a freaking squirrel. I called my dad and we fished the poor thing out. We called some people to clean our tank and they came the next day (I know about the ongoing virus but we obviously couldn't use that water). It is sad that animals die in such unfortunate ways 😢. To prevent such things from happening to you, block all open holes on your tank,even the small ones. We did block ours to prevent any such misfortune in future, so that the beautiful squirrels can be seen playing on trees and not floating in water.
