Well, we've discovered that those chipmunks that lived in our fireplace two winters ago are back, and they brought reinforcements. Little bastards. They're so cute...but when they start tearing up furniture, they've crossed the line. I bought traps today...one is a humane electric one and one is the sticky kind that doesn't kill them. the other two are the nasty snap and break your neck kind, but those are plan b. i really love small animals, really, i do, but it's either them or the furniture. And my cat's too damn lazy to do anything about it. We bought a golfcart...the dudes are making it from scratch and it will be coloured BCP-65 Purple Passion. Oh yeah. I am so excited. French girl coming Thursday. This is not exciting, this is a reason to lose the contents of my lunch from sheer nervousness.
