Goofy for Gophers
Jul. 2nd, 2009 05:32 pmI don't know if I'm going to be embarking on some Caddyshackesque capers or just head out to Home Depot for some spray foam. There's a small ground squirrel living under our step.
Most of the ground squirrels live in the field and the church a few blocks away and I knew there were a couple in the neighbourhood because of their high pitched little calls. I caught my neighbour prowling in the front yard one day a few years ago and apparently the gopher was in his yard. I think that gopher went away (hopefully in a natural way).
I spotted the little guy yesterday and today. There were these impossible to get rid of dandelions in the crack between the step and the sidewalk, but he took care of them by digging three holes! All this activity is pretty new. I filled one of the holes with white rocks and by the time I got back yesterday, it had been cleared. Oh boy...
