Congratulations Joe.
Actually, several years ago, back home in Ohio, a flying squirrel got into a Pointsettia and got into my grandma (mom's mom) house. He was entertaining to watch for a few days; like something in a cartoon
but, after a few days, (and because it was relatively close) was relatively close) we decided to take him to a local arboretum; and because he was alright, I'm sure he was released after a few days.
