I hear ya. I've run in the yard with house shoes when the males were trying to kill each other. Came in handy to toss at themI have some too... the girls sounded urgent, so I didn't even think to change...lol
. They've since settled down and get along pretty well now, but I keep my yard shoes by the back door ready for action now.
DW just tied up with that damn full-time part-time job. Doesn't need me harping on getting rid of it.
