Flybye --

I remember a similar situation a few years ago -- our Mini Poodle found a hole in the back yard that was about big enough for him to head on into the tunnel. I called some gopher guy, or something similar, from the county. He wasn't sure what the hole/tunnel was from, but we do have rock chucks by the bazillions in the fields behind our house, which was what he thought might be the culprit, and being a gopher guy, he doesn't do rock chucks. He also said, "you better hope it's not a skunk! NOBODY does anything about skunks!" I never found anyone to call about rock chucks, and fortunately it wasn't a skunk.

So, gopher guy wasn't much help in our yard -- and we DO have gophers that we HAVE to figure out how to coax to leave one of these days! And I'm thinking some pretty persuasive and permanent encouragement: the buggers uproot my rose bushes!
