And Another One Bites the Dust

Transported another squirrel this morning. I thought it was too big to be a juvenile, but given how fast they seem to be growing - who knows?

I'm intrigued by this new hobby of yours, although I must confess that I am envisioning it as something like the Sorcerer's Apprentice from Fantasia, with poor Mickey filling and emptying buckets of water faster and faster.

Are you actually hoping to end up with a squirrel-less yard, or are you just trying to get rid of a particularly canny family of squirrels that have gotten too well-informed on the secret entrances to your attic?

A man can dream, can't he?

The immediate goal is to prevent the Dachshund next door from devouring another baby squirrel (this upsets his owner, and we like her).

Transporting the squirrels that currently live in our roof to someplace over five miles distant seems like a worthy goal, as well.

It turns out that if one has the knack (like mizzlaurajean appears to have) for baiting the trap attractively, trapping squirrels doesn't seem to be all that difficult. Keeping other squirrels from moving in to occupy the vacuum left by the dearly departed, on the other hand...
