I have mice that visit the cupboards under the sink. I think they come in from outside through the holes in the weatherboards. I don't like to kill needlessly or heedlessly, so instead of traps and poison, we've reached a happy solution. I took all the food out of the cupboard except for tin cans. Every day I put a couple of pieces of dog kibble in the cupboards, and the mice don't bother going any further in search of food.
I read the book Lady Chatterley's Lover by D. H. Lawrence. I'd always heard that it was a 'scandalous' book, but figured it would be prudish Edwardians getting upset over the mention of ankles. Well, I was mistaken. LCL is actually quite explicit! A lot of very detailed descriptions of sexual congress and post-coital murmurings.
You And Whose Army? - Friday Theme
Sigh. I wish I had an army. An army of dogs! I'd use terriers for infantry, seeing as I don't rate terrier breeds much. Boxers, Dobermans and Ridgebacks would make up the heavy troops and Mastiffs would be the military police. Spaniel breeds make good medics, and it's almost impossible to withstand an interrogating poodle.
and it's almost impossible to withstand an interrogating poodle...
I must use this sentence at least once today!!! hugs :)

"You did it! yip yip yip!"
"No, honestly, I... "
"Shut up! You did it! yip yip yip!"
"Argh! Stop the noise!"
"Confess! You did it! yip yip yip!"
(the bad cop is standing in the corner, trembling with barely-restrained psychotic vengeance, foam round the lips and an ominous, continuous rolling growl forced between the rigidly locked jaws... )
