He would be so bored in a house that he would make it his waking-hour purpose to hunt down all the mice and make them a snack. You can't take the hound out of the dog, and every hound I've ever known has had an insatiable appetite. <br /><br />When we get our yearly mouse, we use the old-fashioned snappy-traps. They work well. That sticky-strip thingy worked great for catching the baby mole that we thought was a mouse. But then there's the issue of disposing of a live critter stuck to a little mat. You can rip its feet off and let it go outside, but that seems not such a good scenario for the mouse, whom I think would prefer a swiftly-broken neck, as opposed to a footless life, or slow poisoning.<br /><br />What about Radar? Is he not a mouser? Jack is bossy and initiates play, but then gets snarly if he's not getting the upper hand. Or paw.<br /><br />If you have a Gator, Jack will jump up in it and ride along. Make sure your gloves and empty soda bottles are stashed away, or they will be in pieces by the time you get home with Jack. I wouldn't feel right charging you for Jack's mousing services. Perhaps you have a Label Baby Jr that you're willing to trade?<br /><br />***<br />River,<br />I first accused Jack of eating Zirc's food through the day, but Farmer H said it was up on the trailer, and Jack couldn't get to it. You know, my same little Jack that Farmer H said climbed up on the trunk of his 1980 Olds Toronado and took a crap. He also said Zirc eats all her food when he gives it to her. Farmer H is the feeder, so he needs to give Jack less food in his dog dish every morning. Jack DOES have a smaller bowl than Juno.<br /><br />There is no fence that could hold Jack. His digging paws and short long body could squeeze under anything less than concrete several feet below the ground. Jack is a chewer, too. So even a wire cage would eventually be gnawed through. Like a prisoner slicing through the bars with a nail file.Hillbilly Momhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18067833789262242514noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8112514995333046518.post-38728119856056808712021-09-26T22:48:08.620-05:002021-09-26T22:48:08.620-05:00Hard as it may be, the thing to do is feed him les...Hard as it may be, the thing to do is feed him less as long as he is feasting on babies. Or find out where he is getting them and fence off that area.

You could rent out Jack, and he could be a house dog for bit, until all the mice are gone.<br /><br />Let me know the cost, and the travel arrangements...Sioux Roslawskihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17924021828536277618noreply@blogger.com
