My next door neighbor had sticky traps for mice. Gopher snakes used to come to get the stuck mice and got stuck themselves, giving us an appreciation of the way the La Brea Tar Pits used to work.
We would rescue the snakes, and put them in an aquarium for the education and erudition of my daughter. After the snakes recovered, and grew up we released them into an appropriate meadow. One mouse a week is plenty and to spare for a snake.

Kill it. It’s a rat. It breeds like rats too.

Once my sister made me drive miles to a large wooded area and walk 20 minutes to release a mouse that was in a pail under the sink.

That act may well go down in Squirrel Folklore.
That Squirrel will never forget you!

Women like critters that have little fur coats and/or shoes. Japs not so much.

In fact, I’m sure we’re supposed to report this kind of behavior to our local authorities; certainly to dept of wildlife.

Do other bulldogs swim?
Years ago, our old brindle jumped headfirst into my parents’ pool...and promptly sank like a stone.
Dad: “You might want to think about bathing that dog more often. I think he left an oilslick and bulldog butter in my pool”.

I didn’t mean to imply that your Haflinger was imaginary when I asked if he was really a horse. I meant, is he technically a horse, over 14 and a half hands, or is he actually a pony?
Do you drive him at all? Driving is such fun, especially with a tough, curious, determined soul like a Haflinger.

On our rural property, we trap them and shoot them because they are such pests.Agree. Of the three I believe the horse was the smartest.

Dang! I loved “The Tudors.” Never tried watching it to the accompaniment of a befouled animal cleaning himself, though. I’ll try it next time I pull out the Blu-Ray.

Years ago I was visiting my sister and she said "Watch this". She grabbed a slice of bread, opened her front door and whistled. A squirrel scampered down a tree, hopped up her steps and reached up and took the bread she handed him which he then scampered back up the tree with.
I thought that was pretty cool.

Haflingers are gorgeous! Any pics? Hate squirrels. So does my rat terrier.
To: JouleZ
I learned to place a 2x6 board in my water tanks. slightly longer than the width of the tank.
This allows animals to get out, and also gives me leverage when I need to break ice in winter.
I did this after finding about six drowned squirrels in the tank.

My city friends, from Tempe, Arizona where I moved from, are appalled that we trap and shoot the squirrels. Of course, they only see them in the parks there and think they are so “cute”. They also think beef comes shrink-wrapped and milk comes in a plastic carton from the supermarket, as well. City folk!
