Subject: Beavers
We have a beaver infestation at my house. They cut down a ton of trees in my neighbor's yard. From the size of the bites, I'd say we have at least two large adults and a few babies.

It's cool. I hope my neighbors won't get mad about them, or that the stupid dogs won't attack them.

[Deleted for complainy-ness]

Anyway, I haven't seen the beavers, but my dad has. They keep leaving these piles of sticks around that they've chewed all the bark off.

They've cut down some good sized trees. My dad's getting wire things to put around some of our trees in our yard so they can't chew on em.

*feeding frenzy mode activated* Well, time for lunch.

Beavers are cute. I was surprised to read that you had beavers in your neighborhood but then I remembered that you live right on the river and the building of that subdivision probably killed their habitat.

I think there's some law about putting dogs on leashes. If you're really mad about it, threaten to call the humane society or whoever gets stupid neighbor's dogs out of your yard.

That's smart, putting wire around the trees.

Do you hear the trees fall or do they just pwoomf?

No, my house didn't kill their habitat. Rockford used to be a logging town, remember? And all the lumberjacks and farmers trapped them to extinction in this area. Actually, the subdivision did the opposite, as they see it as a safe place to return to now.

They've only cut down small trees so far, and they work early in the morning, so I haven't heard anything.

Yay! Bring em back! Come back, beavers!

Actually, I didn't know that Rockford was a logging town once upon a time. Thanks for the info. *does the I have random information dance*

That'd be cool if they made a pwoomf noise.

There's a really heavy band called l3eaver. My mom hates them.
