<DIV align=left><FONT face=Arial size=2>I just caught this but want to say I was
worried about Becky setting off traps. I
couldn't stand watching the mice get caught and not killed and lots of
blood so mice win for now - and where's Houdini - out working for
someone else. Yes if an ear got in those traps cuz their ears
bleed profusely I found out during a fight could really hurt them. Then
they panic. Surprisingly what seems to deter mice (not bassets) is
pure oil of pepperment not cooking kind aromatic - I sprinkle it and they don't
seem to like it at all.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV align=left><FONT face=Arial size=2>Once when dazey and apollo both got
those round rawhides stuck in roof of their mouth - well guess who came to me
for help - the Airedale of course and no the basset Dazey was struggling
to get it out but couldn't so glad I was home or it could've been
disastrous.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>So no more round rawhides the white cheap kind and
watch traps.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>How about balloons filled with pebbles? That would
stop Miss Becky</FONT></DIV>
