Ah the latter days of summer and the beginning of Fall.  Beautiful time of the year and Sophie and I love to hang out in the backyard.  Recently I have seen a tiny mouse running along the fence.  We have had mice in the backyard for years.  I think they live in a drainpipe we have or in one of the ornamental grasses.  I have also seen a bunny in the backyard.  Now our backyard is completely fenced in but once I saw the bunny I went looking for how he was getting in our yard.  First of all he is tiny so I was looking for a small hole in the fence and I found one.  Sophie is so funny when she sees the bunny.  She goes nuts and I have to say she cracks me up.  What a cute little dog she is!  Bunny does not stray far from the little whole in the fence, for good reason I think.  Sunday morning Sophie was looking for the bunny out of our sliding glass door and I thought how funny it would be to write a comic strip called Backyard Bunny.  Hmmm, the thoughts of a bunny and a mouse about the family living in the house sharing the same backyard as them.  It is a thought anyway.  Speaking of which I am not sure how I feel about the little varmints in our backyard.  Actually we live in the suburbs and we actually have a lot of wildlife.  I have seen red foxes in the neighborhood jumping fences, coyotes in our neighborhood park, raccoons in our backyard and owls at night along with all the bunnies in people's yards.  I am very careful about leaving Sophie out at night.  What kinds of varmints do you have living in your backyard and do you do anything to get rid of them?
