Guest guest Posted September 29, 2000 Report Share Posted September 29, 2000 no more cats, the coyotes killed them. actually, i have no problem encouraging the mice to live elsewhere and eliminating those that don't get the message. i went to open a bag of chips the other day (Yoga Criminal!!). couldn't figure out why they were stale...until i noticed the nice neat little hole that had been chewed in the bottom by our little rodent squatters. the kitchen became a veritable abattoir over the next few days with traps going off. survival of the fittest? the hardest ones to get rid of were the ones that took up residence inside the back of the refrigerator. we found they were there when we pulled the fridge out for some cleaning. there was a nice pile of dog food, stored up, kibble by kibble, by mus musculus. ah, the country life.

Guest guest Posted September 29, 2000 Report Share Posted September 29, 2000 Well, we city folk have the critter problems, too. Remember from your childhood perhaps, the country mouse and the city mouse? (No city coyotes, oh wait, last spring there was an extremely disoriented one about 8 blocks away, poor thing had been hit by a car. I think she lived.) I have just noticed my cat staring intently at the stove, which means the mice are back. We do the "Have a Heart" traps, and set them free outside. <br>That's what my upstairs neighbor does to protect the rooftop tomatoes from the squirrels. He has a serious relocation program. When he traps one he drives it acorss the river and frees it in a park in Cambridge. Otherwise they can smell the way back to our garden. But I do feel sorry for their families...

Guest guest Posted September 29, 2000 Report Share Posted September 29, 2000 City critter problems? Yesterday, I saw a very large brown bear (aka grizzley) jump in the back of a small pickup truck at a small airport parking lot and take a bite out of a tire that had a deer skin draped over it. Of course the tire exploded in his mouth. Local law enforcement moved in and pelted him w/ rubber bullets, he semed unfazed. Later he blocked my plane from departure... he was on a true most criminal list, Dept of fish and game were debating whether or not to kill him due to his very aggressive behavior. Native analysis: behavior due to too few Salmon in the streams right now. Not an obvious yoga story, but a change of scenery. <br><br>Yours in yoga Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
