Two nights ago, she was awakened by a seriously cold draft from the bottom of the back door. She woke up and tucked lots of paper under and over between the bottom of the door to block the cold air.
She then fell back asleep but hours later she was awakened by a blast of cold, bitter cold, air. She checked and noticed that paper she used to fill the space under the door was no longer in place. Damn.
Where did it go? Did someone remove the paper that blocked the draft. Or did the mice eat through the paper? Not sure.
But She decided to refill any new holes with anything. Better safe than sorry?
Who knows?
