Dogs Will Not Bother These Traps

Dogs won’t bother these traps the exterminator said. They have poison in them and they’ll make mice dead. They snap shut with indicators of green and red. He was their chief expert, his name was Big Fred. He had not met our dog Buddy, who was asleep on our bed. Buddy ate that mouse trap this evening, my husband said. He’s thrown up his food all over our Kansas homestead. I am angry about it and blame that pest guy, Big Fred.
