We had an interesting night last night. I (Jenn) went down to the basement to do laundry last night. Before I turned the dryer on I cleaned the lint screen and when I turned it on I heard lots of debris go up the vent pipe to the outside, which I thought was funny because it never does that. I then started hearing a thump thump and the dryer started to smell like it was burning up. I turned the dryer off and decided to check the vent pipe where it went into the dryer. I am happy that I looked before grabbed at what fell out of the dryer when I took the pipe off because a striped chipmunk butt fell out of my dryer and he was alive! I chased the chipmunk around the basement for a good 30 minutes before Brian came home from work and helped me catch him. In the process of trying to catch the live one I found another one in the dryer vent hole that didn't survive.
Finally caught him in a bucket and released him outside.
Unfortunately he didn't survive the dryer.
