She seemed quite distressed and was looking to me to do something about it. I've seen them at night walking about along her garden wall, they just stop take a look at me and carry on...they don't get into any garbage, apparently they are well fed by other neighbours, so I didn't think having the three of them lodge under my garage a problem. I said when they become a problem, I'll decide then if the problem is worth giving them an eviction notice, until then they were welcome. She wasn't impressed...I've noticed that the she has now boarded up the entry to their underground home, I know they aren't in there, thank goodness, I'm just glad she doesn't own a rifle! I'm going to keep an eye on her next door, just in case she starts sporting one of those Davy Crockett hats.Victoria Musiccohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17171882686067005284noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5227064496185547313.post-60725724733340932432011-01-15T15:36:42.795+00:002011-01-15T15:36:42.795+00:00We don't have many badgers in my neck of the w...We don't have many badgers in my neck of the woods, but we have loads of ground hogs, fondly referred to as "woolly boogers".Tess Kincaidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04889725786678984293noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5227064496185547313.post-9367992173105958632011-01-15T15:00:09.485+00:002011-01-15T15:00:09.485+00:00As odd as it must seem, I've always wanted to ...As odd as it must seem, I've always wanted to experience the smell of a Skunk.

I can't say what happened for sure, but last year I found a dead opossum in the backyard, and Henry was looking awfully proud of himself those next few days. He's so sweet inside the house . . . <br /><br />Anyway, badgers are cute. I wonder what it is that makes dachshunds want to rip their heads off?Amy Saiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00346366018143891761noreply@blogger.com
