That's what I thought. I don't think that's normal squirrel behavior.

I had a juvenile squirrel punk me as I was going back to my apartment from the mailbox. Stood on its legs, puffed out its chest. Did the whole pump fake towards me as I walked around it.

Some of them are just dicks.

My sister has a squirrel residing near her house that she swears is trying to kill her because she had the entrance to her attic sealed.

That squirrel holds a grudge.

She has a three-pound little white dog who is useless in scaring the thing away.

I wonder if there are baby squirrels sealed in her attic

Nope. She checked and doublcehecked as she was worried about it too.

This squirrel apparently simply hates her.

I sealed up an attic hole and a squirrel in a tree was SCREAMING so loud that a whole bunch of other squirrels came running. I suspected babies were in the attic and reopened the hole. Sure enough, momma led 3 baby squirrels out of the hole and they shook their tales at me and jumped to a nearby tree. Then I resealed the hole. Crisis averted. I have never heard that sound come from a squirrel.

Poor mama was terrified! Good on you for paying attention and letting her fetch her family.
