Badgers are all around us

In german:
Dachs= badger
hund= dog

I urge all of you out there to be careful.  Before Zelda came into our lives I had no idea how prevalent badgers were in my life.  I still haven't seen an actual one but she assures us that they are to be found all over the house.  I trust her because she was bred to hunt badgers.  Her little body has been genetically engineered for hundreds of years to be a lean, mean, short legged, badger hunting machine.  When she starts digging it can only mean one thing, a badger has been found.  A list of where she has found their scent so far:

  • our pillows
  • our bed
  • the corners of the carpet
  • the nightstand (wood)
  • Matt's lap
  • any and every blanket
  • the couch
  • her crate
  • her food bowl
  • her water bowl
  • my backpack
  • paper
So see?  Be careful because if this list is any indication, your house may also be crawling with unseen badgers.
