I have been living in this house for 19 years and this is the first time moles have shared my yard. Fortunately I am not a lawn freak. When these mounds were in the back alley my cats liked to dig into these little hills and poop in them. Hopefully this time-honored tradition will continue.

My yard is currently populated by raccoons and has also played host to other wild animals such as possums, cottontail rabbits, feral peacocks, and even a porcupine.

OK, so I took a phone photo of a vent in the foundation in the front of my house. Then I put the image on my computer screen. This makes it an electronic vent, or an e-vent.

Meanwhile, Buster climbs up and stares at the image, forming a strategy on how to catch mice that might use this opening. That makes him an e-vent planner.
