I've been thinking of robotic laser cannons, but I'd probably forget to
turn them off when I went out in the garden. I *have* been researching my
great-grandmother's Basque recipe for rabbit stew and dreaming of trying
it someday -- maybe I'll reach the breaking point and it will become
reality. :)
This winter has been particularly bad in terms of rodent damage. I don't
know if it was the warmer weather or lack of snow that encouraged the
little fuzzballs to come out, but they sure were active. If I keep
losing plants, I might have to give up on gardening and will just think
about it instead (kind of like dating :)
I *did* end up adopting a chow/Australian shepherd mix from the humane
society in February, so hopefully he'll keep the barbarians at the gates.
But I'm concerned that he might do even more damage. :(
He was at the humane society for six months and was one week away from
euthanasia, so I had to take the poor guy home. He already answered to
the name of Romeo, so that's what we stuck with. You can see him at
