  A sure sign Fall is here Reply Contact The girls have started digging again . The dastardly squirrels come and bury pecans in the grass, sniffing ensues, each hole starts nicely with a little nose dip and before you know it .... they are going to China !  Now that DH is done with the backyard for the week, it is time for the "mishmash" patrol. Filling with topsoil, tamping and pouring the "mishmash" concoction on top - very simple recipe but you do not want to know the details. . Fortunately, this usually stops them for a good week; not only do they not return to the old holes, they also avoid creating new ones. So off I go, put my rubber gloves and rubber boots on. This is about the only time I wish I had a very stuffy nose ! Nathalie & the Monstresses

  Re: A sure sign Fall is here Reply Contact  Bugs digs for moles (yea I know old news) but he really outdid himself today.  He dug the Panama canal It was in an area there is mole activity and now I've got a 15ft long trench - about 3-4 inches wide  The good thing about fall is that I can buy seed and start reseeding some of his 'work areas' "I think Karen should get a BC next time because she deserves a more mellow laid back dog! Or a Maremma because she needs a more clingy, biddable, easily trained dog." Brookcove 2008

I don't know seasons in Florida, so I had no idea it's considered 'Fall' right now. Pirate dug himself a hole to China last night - I was mad but then his little white face was all black with dirt, LOL, and I just laughed.

  Re: A sure sign Fall is here Reply Contact sl2crmeg: Is Fall the reason? I don't know seasons in Florida, so I had no idea it's considered 'Fall' right now. To me, Fall starts when I can go in the yard around 6 am in shorts and T-shirt and .... not sweat  ! To the girls, when nuts appears in the grass, so yeah, it is Fall. From what I see, I am lucky the girls are "seasonal" diggers and not to have moles (lizzard hunting replaces it quite well, my patio screens take a beating every year). Nathalie & the Monstresses
