[AG-EQ] There's a moose loose in the hoose!!!

[Jewel]

I forgot to mention that as well as hollowing out a crater of Vesuvian proportions in the dogroll, 
one, or more of them had been up on  the stove where I had left a saucer with 4 empty quarters of 
orange rind in it and had taken them.
I know nothing of the dietary preferences of rodents, but I wouldn't have thought that orange rind 
was one of them.
I suspect that, after having sampled it, they would agree with me!!!
I put out anothe block of bait for them last night, but it was untouched this morning.

Jewel,

It sounds like you have a few industrious little critters.  We
sometimes find where they have chewed through a cardboard box to get
to dog biscuits.  One Christmas, I had a plate of oatmeal raisen
cookies on a plate and then in the center of the table there was a
horn of plenty with silk leaves and ornamental dried gords.  The next
morning one of the cookies was half eaten and tucked up under the
leaves in front of the center piece.  The cookies were too far away to
have gotten there on their own.  Too bad he and one of his little
friends never made it to Christmas and even more cookies.
