oooOOooooOooo.
Yes, this entry is about a strange phenomenon which has been happening in our back yard.
Almost every morning, when I let the dog out I notice that the lid of our garbage can is covered in little poos. Now it’s a bear proof garbage can, since we have bears in the area. What that means is that it’s not a loose lid which you can just easily pull off. It’s actually a screw top. and it’s got a pretty air tight seal to it. So there’s nothing to be had there food wise. And because of the seal there’s no smells coming out either. None that I can smell anyway and my sense of smell is pretty good, just ask Mord. I’ll complain cause I smell the cat’s bad breath from across the room lol.
So anyway, it’s a pain in the butt to have to clean the lid every day and I’ve been wondering wth it is that keeps crapping on our garbage can. The poos kinda look like mouse poo. So even though I’m usually not all that keen on killing things, I’m sick and tired of wiping off a lid full of crap every day just so I can put my garbage in the trashcan without getting my hands dirty, so I put a mousetrap on it. One of those instant kill things they have to get into and you don’t even have to deal with seeing them.
Of course the damn things been out there for weeks now and nothing’s gone in. And today, to put the icing on the cake I found that they’d even crapped on top of the damn mousetrap
So now I want to know why the hell “something” is having a conference on top of our garbage can every night. I don’t find the poo anywhere else, not on the deck either, just the garbage can lid. So tonight I’m going to put a cam next to the window and see if I can catch the little bastards on video, so I’ll at least know wtf I’m dealing with here.
So yes. Stay tuned for Mystery poo pt. 2.
