This one made it out alive!

Because he climbed the wall to save himself!!! You can't see it but there is a wine rack right below this that he originally climbed & then somehow jumped up on this...this was one smart chipmunk!

Oh & in case you are wondering...I got him out of the house by knocking him into a paper bag with an oven mitt. I usually use a broom & open the front & back door & scoot them out while they are running around (yes we have these quite often in our home) but this one was a little different. :)
