Picture 8/3: Chip and Dale Deceased

August 3
(picture 215 of 365)

Tonight, I must notify you of the death of Chip and Dale.

Or at least that's what I'm calling them.


They aren't chipmunks though.

Field mice.

Also known as voles, which I was not aware of until doing some research today.

They were burrowing all around our pool, even getting into the sand layer that's between the ground and our liner.

Obviously, they become a pest at that point which means I bring out the big guns:  poison pellets.

Sorry Chip.
Sorry Dale.

Hope you enjoyed your last meal.

Out for now.......

Matt
