Sooooo cute. We have a few and are thrilled when we see one. Course, we don't bother with a garden....so, no reason to murder them.

It's not just about the garden. The structural damage to the timbers and retaining wall is kinda annoying also :pout: expensive too
 
ummmmmmmm, LARGE deck and about 80 foot retaining wall

:surrender:
 
ummm that being said

we stuck mice poisoning on hamburger meat on the roof of our garage at our old house--it was for my friends the squirrels --then I told DH to STOP as I didnt want to FIND the "sleepy" --umm dead squirrels in my yard
 
I suppose many of us could say that, no?

But I still think I have a right to keep the squirrels outta my basement, the raccoons outta my attic and all of them from weakening the structures in general.

Eh, maybe. But I think that whole "circle of life" argument might work better if there weren't a crazed lady (and I mean that in the nicest way) standing over little furry critters w/a shovel like a real-life whack-a-mole game. Okay, okay, I know. You are (were?) going to drown them. Or more exactly, trick them into drowning themselves. Still. Chipmunk assisted suicide doesn’t have a very hakuna-matata feel to it.

:huggy: (in lieu of a chipmunk hiding smilie.)

I had a mole tunneling all over my backyard, then the front. My darling hubby while having coctails on the patio had an idea of where he might be hiding, found him and beat him over the head with a shovel. I love that crazy man with the shovel!

Mrsmom, were we separated at birth or something...I think they are kewl too! I had one hanging out on my shoulder over the weekend. I got such a kick out of how everytime I would put my finger up to to he/she would turn it's head and reach out for my finger......kewl.

I would not want to be a praying mantas' though because the female will eat the males head when they are having bug sex.

I meant circle of life as in real life, as in one of God's creatures being food/prey for another of God's creatures, not as in cute little disney cartoon characters who talk and sing and dance...

real life, as in spending over $10,000 on a new retaining wall weakened by old age and yearssssssssssss of critters...

real life, as in my sweet Polish gardener daddy did what he could to protect his garden from getting consumed and spoiled by critters

and yes, it's still "ARE"


btw, fyi, blah blah blah, and call me crazed (oh wait, you already did that :lol: ), I don't have anything against rodents in general. We currently have 2 gerbils and 1 guinea pig as pets. Have had nuuuuuuumerous hamsters. I'm perfectly ok with holding, petting, snuggling rodents. It's just the destructive ones taking over our yard that I have a problem with.

Kinky.
 
ALL RIGHT! You broke me with this :pout:

Now I have to confess....I MAY at one time in my life have helped a friend with a raccoon problem she was having...and it MAY have involved shooting them off the roof with a BB gun. :hides:

Do you need more buckets? :snicker:
