Moles are pretty much blind and easy to catch, and harmless...except when you step in their holes and twist an ankle. I don't worry about that too much, though, because my dog Lucy leaves much bigger holes!

You haven't LIVED until you wake up to the cat bringing in a live mole at 3 a.m., it bleeding all over the carpet, and running and squealing under your bed!

eta: I was fascinated when I followed Lucy out to her mole hunt, and I leaned down close to the ground and could hear the little mole tearing through the grass roots just under the surface. It is quite a curious thing to see her listening to the mole, and literally watching the dirt bump up above it, just like in cartoons!

I'm always sad when one is killed, but I have a huge yard and plenty of room for them and me.
