It’s a jungle out there

It seems that ever since our beloved cat passed away last year we are overrun with wildlife. Not only has every bird in town moved to our yard, but the rodent population is booming as well. We really had no idea our cat worked that hard.
We always knew he was an amazing hunter. He brought home a variety of cute, cuddly, fluffy creatures from rabbits to mice to birds and I often suspected that cat could take down a deer. Oddly, since he has passed, a family of deer has also moved into the back yard.

So we are dealing with the deer, and trying to get along with the birds, despite the fact that we have to deal with the damn Doves fornicating all over place.

But when all of the crocus and hyacinth bulbs got eaten we needed to stop the madness.
They were eaten by chipmunks.
We have way too many chipmunks.

The chipmunks are living in the laps of luxury now. They are procreating at astounding rates and we have created a safe haven for them inside of our fence. You see, the fence keeps all the neighborhood cats out – so there are no predators for them to fear. Our lumbering Free Dog is no match for the speed of these cute rodents… tho she continues to try.

We must bring down the chipmunk population.
That is our quest.
Our plan is to start a chipmunk relocation program.


We have purchased one of these:



we went with the model 0745 – specifically designed for chipmunks.

I will keep you posted on our progress.
