Oh... did I mention that the kid DID finally kill that squirrel for me?

Nice.

And.... this morning looking out the window, I think the ice on the pond looks way bigger.

Also, still no sun today.

And... I have caught myself a cold.


And... last I checked, no goslings yet.

Hope you feel better soon!

We just saw some signs of a squirrel a few days ago. Saw it for myself yesterday afternoon. Caught two rats but no squirrel yet. Destructive suckers. Glad your's is handled now.

I had the kids (kid 4 and 5) put the duck island out on the pond today.

There is a sheet of ice on the bottom of the pond that kid #5 is walking on. I am not sure if the icy slush on the top of the water is bigger.... or just spread out ..... where before it was blow up against the one pond edge.

We have two bad squirrels in our chicken house. They've been destroying the bins of food and BOSS. Hubs caught one yesterday, and I relocated it about 3 miles away in a big forested area. Now to get the larger squirrel and relocate that one!!

I've never eaten squirrel, but these suckers woulda been good, given the amount of food we've been providing!!

Don't relocate them. If not far enough, they will find their way back.. If too far for that, they will be attacked and killed by any local population...
Just quietly dispose of them... for everyone's sake.

Yikes! Come on summer... we want that melted!

Squirrel hats and KFS or in your case it would be, AFS!

Wonder where they're getting in.

There's always the old reliable squirelenator. Catch, give them a bath and let them sun bathe on a big rock.
