Damn.<br /><br />Syd- I love your pragmatism. I really do.<br /><br />Tiffany- Yes. Move over. Let's bitch. And in real life, the tiny frog was quite beautiful.<br /><br />Kathleen Scott- Good idea but I don't think Bop wants to occupy his time with building a heated dog mansion. And if I had indoor cats I'd just have to clean out a litter box. There is no perfect solution. Just like most of life.<br /><br />Stephanie- I bet we could catch eight mice in eight minutes. <br /><br />Mwa- Yes. Mr. Moon cleans up shit, too. He does. <br /><br />Screamish- Yes. Our possums eat anything. First they eat the eggs, then they go after the chickens. They are fierce.<br />And have fangs.<br /><br />Lisa- Or something.<br /><br />NOLA- It is the human fate to coexist with vermin, no matter where we are, isn't it? <br />I guess we better get some little traps.

Oh lawdy, there were mice. <br /><br />I used traps - just those simple cheap ones. And I stopped putting food on them (because the cockroaches would scurry out to eat the cheese or peanut butter or whatever), just placed on places I knew they'd like. All night long I'd hear SNAP! and in the morning I'd pick up the carcasses. I killed a good dozen mice that way, and went from regularly sightings of them to none.<br /><br />My friend suggested glue traps, and oh soul I will never ever ever do that again. It was the most horrific thing. Traps snap and kill them, but glue traps cause mice screaming. Horrible.<br /><br />Then I got those little green cubes of poison and shoved them far back in behind things, places where I knew little children could not reach under any circumstances (while I have no grandson, many of my friends' kids would visit me often). <br /><br />The mice left and never came back. I have no idea why. I just know my story. <br /><br />The cockroaches, though. Sheesh.<br /><br />How sad that I've had to move to Africa to get away from rodents and roaches. And probably they're only not in my apartment because of excessive amounts of poison that I don't ask about. There are mice in our office, and one climbed up the curtain the other day and then peeked its head over the top and peered and me and I swear I'd think it cute if I didn't think of all the very real diseases it spreads here. <br /><br />Lawdy. To the office I go.NOLAhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05572754078356812922noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2086296370004835655.post-79994410236774194622010-12-19T20:56:57.496-05:002010-12-19T20:56:57.496-05:00My house also gets jacked up with random poos.

But now that there's snow they're pooping on the terrace again, so when the snow goes we'll have a poopy terrace to deal with. Well, I say we but I mean Babes.

So glad you let him loose out back.<br /><br />I think Bop needs to build the dogs a house outdoors. Something civilized with insulation and heat and warm beds for winter, of course, and ventilation for summer cool.
