So so.
It’s 43 right now. Been raining all day long.
Gonna fire the barn cat. He catches no mice!
Gets chipmunks and moles though.
I live trapped 3 mice yesterday afternoon in the barn.
They got relocated about a mile from home.
This morning I had 3 more. They went to church with me; but not all the way.
Just awhile ago when I put the animals up I had 2 more!
The cat stays away from the goats and birds and that is where the mice reside.
When a kitty, the dumb cat ‘played’ with the goats by whacking them in the snout, reaching thru gaps in the barn wall.
The four were NOT pleased! When Tiger got cocky enough to actually get in WITH the goats, little Gracie nailed him to the wall! Skittering away with 8 left, he’s not gotten in with them since!
Hubby use to say, why does all this happen with you...then there's the story of the robin that was drinking at the edge of the pond and I wanted to see how close I could get to it before it flew off.
It didn't fly just stood quiet with its feet at the edge of the pond, I tried to pick it up but something was attached to it....Scooped my hand under the water and a small snapping turtle (about the size of my hand) caught the robin by its foot...
Found out snappers don't let go no matter what you try.Once they get a hold you cannot pry their mouths open..
Without going into the details, at last I had to cut off just the tip and claw on one toe of the robin.
Put him in the shrubs so it could recover...and hour later it was gone..We will not discuss what hubby had to do to the turtle. Didn't want a snapper in the pond anyway cause my grand kids would go wading in the shallow end...
The pond was full of blue gill and some bass. Probably why the snapper was there..
