He hadn't met his match though until he came to the 'other side.' So far he hasn't come up in our yard... we've only found little trails like this one in our beds:
But don't mess with the mama's lavender. I'm not even joking - less than 5 minutes before I took this picture that lavender was planted nicely in it's cozy little spot.
Apparently our dog Finney knows he's there too since he dug a hole to China in the newly barked beds along our front walkway trying to catch the little thing. I told Justin that it almost would have been worth it if he'd caught the mole. But he didn't....

See, the problem is that you don't live in Eastern Washington! Here, we all just shoot the moles that come into our yards! Are you packin' in Ferndale? :)
Dumb moles. Did you paint your fence?
Ugh. Moles are freaky. In MN last summer, there was a crazy mole that would come after me whenever I had the guinea pigs outside. If I was barefoot, he'd go for my feet, so I started wearing my Docs outside. Every time he came toward me, I'd try to stomp on him. He didn't come after me quite as zealously after a few near misses. So you could always borrow Justin's boots and try that strategy!
We've recently had success with our awful mole problem. Juicy Fruit gum. No joke. Chew up a stick, plop it in their freshly dug hole and lightly cover it up. We had mole haven in our front yard and 4 sticks later, no more holes.
