A few chapters ago, I told you about the mice in the back yard that Abby had gotten.  Well, for a while we did not see any more mice, until last week, we actually did not see any mice, but Abby did, and she was going nuts trying to get them.  She was digging and digging to try to get under our back fence into our neighbors yard. Not only was she digging, but also she was pacing back and forth along the fence line for hours at a time getting herself all worked up, and she did this for several days.  While she was digging, I was out trying to fill in the holes with no avail at all.  She would come in for a few minutes and rest get a drink of water and back out to the fence. 

When she would come in her paws of course were all muddy and mixed with water it was a mess in the house.  So this past weekend we filled in all the holes, and got a yard and a half of Medium round rock, and put it down all along the fence under the tree.  My husband and I did this all by ourselves so we were tired when we finished.  We sat down for a few minutes to cool off and rest, when all of a sudden my husband said look there is a mouse.  It came from our neighbors yard, under the fence, and seemed a bit confused as to what the hell had happened.  The mouse went back and forth between the two yards for about a half an hour, while Abby was out there with us, but she did not see the mouse.  So my husband went and got some traps, as the last thing we needed is for the mice to get into the house. We have put them out for several nights in a row, and no luck. We are hoping that, what we did took away what the mice were doing in our yard.  Abby has now settled down, she still will go to that spot but does not smell anything and then goes away.  The plus side to all of this is, is that it looks really good out in our yard, so we are going to do the other side of the yard.
