Now that school is back in session (sort of), I get to boot my kids out of the house for an hour every afternoon and blame it on their teachers (It’s time for recess! I don’t make the rules!). They don’t mind, though, because they’ve created a game out of trying to catch the prairie dogs that infest our yard.

I thought the prairie dogs were kind of cute, until I read about bubonic plague and the symptoms and how death-causing they are. Any tips on getting the prairie dogs out of my yard?
