Today, there’s some good news and some bad news. The bad news is that after a brief warm spell (really brief – as in, a few hours yesterday afternoon), it’s pretty darn cold around here, and it’s gonna get colder (and windier). The good news is that while we’re going to get a little snow, folks in Western New York and our friends to the north will be getting “feet” of snow. As in, blizzard conditions “up north.” I just hope that the bad stuff stays up there and away from us.<\/p>\n
In other news, I haven’t checked the traps yet so I don’t have the overnight tally, but as of about 9PM last night, we’d bagged seven mice in our storage area. I found a dog food bag nibbled on out there, and we decided to declare war. That doesn’t include the one headless mouse that showed up on the living room floor the other morning or the two from the traps in the drawers in the laundry area. <\/p>\n
As I told the cats – it’s Humans 9, Cats 1. If they expect to keep getting fed, they need to up their game. Mouse traps and peanut butter are a lot cheaper.<\/p>\n
I’d prefer not to kill the little bastards, and I sprayed a lot of fox urine around the basement and garage areas (which reminds me, I’d better re-treat), but there’s really no reasoning with them and now that it’s cold out, they’re looking for a nice warm comfy spot to shit and piss in while chewing it to pieces. <\/p>\n
Oh well, I guess I better go check my traps and see what’s for breakfast.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
