Garter Snake Gets Loose In My Parents Truck...

Long story short: had this snake in a Wal-Mart bag and it escaped while I was borrowing my parents Ford truck.  Thank God I found it 45 minutes later after I threw my cat into the truck cab.  I once left a turtle in my parents car and it rotted in there. 

Personal Best: 4 Moles And One Mouse Captured in one Day!

Last night my neighbor said to me, "I'll give you 5 bucks for every mole you catch in my yard."  Starting at 6:30 this morning I caught my first mole.  Then at the same time my cat Cricket caught a mouse...broke its paw.   Then I caught 3 more moles today.  All 4 moles and 1 mouse were set free unharmed.  My neighbor gave me a 20 dollar bill...and I said, "can I catch more?"  He just said to let him know If I catch anymore.

I found this lizard today while checking my mole traps. 

Another Mole Terminated

At present there are 4 known moles in my yard in 4 different locations.   Now there are three.  I've known about this one for about 2 weeks.

Cricket Captures a Vole This Morning

I woke up this morning to find limbs down and our fish pond pump not working.  We had a big storm last night resulting in the girls running to our bed at 1:00 o'clock in the morning.  When I walked out our backdoor, I saw that our cat Cricket had this VOLE cornered.   I got to hold him and take a few pics of him, then let him go.
