Re: Flora and fauna!


Thank you, Dawn! I know I rant on too much about squirrels, but no one who doesn't live in a place that's infested with them can understand. They are simply arboreal rats !!! Take away the hair on the tail and they wouldn't cook so cute...look at those beady little eyes! (Sorry, squirrel lovers....)

Re: Flora and fauna!


I do not have a squirrel problem, so suppose its easy for me to think they are cute, but can quite understand your feelings about them DM, Nothing remains cute, when it becomes a pest!!!TBH, if they were vandalising my garden would probably think the same way as you!

Re: Flora and fauna!


Oh Moli, I hope I didn't offend you! I may have come on a bit too strong in that post; I love most animals (well, not wild rats!) and would never hurt one,. My neighbor Carolyn had them chew through the board of her porch roof and make a nest inside...she hired a trapper to catch and transport them away, and within a week a new family was in her yard! Trapping doesn't work; you just have to live with them! (And vent occasionally on Catsey!! )

Re: Flora and fauna!


You did not offend me DM..Can understand how you feel, we used to have the same problem with rabbits, and people used to say they were cute..but when they literally ruined my garden, they were a pest,!! I resorted to letting myu dogs chase them, they soon got the message...

Re: Flora and fauna!


I guess anything in excess can be a pest! We have wild rabbits in the woods two blocks from me, and I confess I think they're as cute as can be....but they don't come in my yard! Dogs would probably help, but unfortunately I'm one of those people who are afraid of dogs....

Thats a shame DM, have you been frightened by a dog in the past?
