davidd's A Doll A Day 2019

[Alliecat]

Wow! It's neat when you can kind of feel the sense of history in a place, and imagine the echoes of the people who were there. The little doll foot is sad... It's a poignant photo and your investigation of the dates was interesting to read. I wonder what else may be there, just under the surface?
A photo essay on old "cowboy campsites" might make an interesting article for a photo magazine!

I am facing a similar battle in the storage shed. I have been using live traps, which thus far have been more effective than the standard mouse traps in numbers captured. However, they just keep coming! And they just keep pooping! And now I am beginning to re-think my use of "humane" live traps after one of the little monsters chewed the tip off one of Maudlynne Macabre's shoes!

Oh no! At least they didn't chew her, but still. I have a friend whose beloved leather bomber jacket was chewed up by mice and he was outraged.
We are on the same page, apparently... I try to aloha aina and respect my fellow critters and all, but, when they keep coming and keep pooping, and if they're not going in the live traps...
Have you ever tried those high-frequency electronic things? A neighbour recommended them but I'm very skeptical, of efficacy as well as unknown effects of the sound over time. Haven't researched it. Yet.
