#PestControl #Trapping

A rippled stainless steel bench top with a red/silver pen (for scale) and a textured green feijoa. The feijoa is sort of cylindrical with rounded ends and some brown crescent marks looking like it has had some teeth bitten into it.

Compost heap made from 4 pallets. Mostly full of dry grass clippings & sawdust. Left end is excavated just enough for a border Collie-X to fit into. My dog, a border Collie-X, is in this gap. Nose-down, tail-up (& wagging) he is attempting to root out suspected vermin. He is having a wonderful time.
