We don't know if the giant wire staples acquired from Home Depot will do the trick. Neighbor Fione suggested braiding dog hair and applying it here and there to freak out the night visitors. ???
We'll squeeze out a pint or so this morning and ponder the strategy over orange juice and toast.
Suggestions?
