Gophers

I just love to watch Glenn with the boys and especially when he is teaching them something new. In a vacant lot next to ours, there is a pocket gopher. Now pocket gophers are not nice-they dig up your lawn and then sometimes badgers go after them and then the badger is worse for the lawn! So Glenn and the boys decided to set a trap -- it is legal to trap pocket gophers!


I looked on through the window and caught these pictures of them, catching their first gopher.

Our dog Ziggi, is trying to get in on the action in this shot.

Glenn is showing the boys the teeth of the gopher and the claws. According to the boys the teeth are orange!

I am not sure why there is the thing with boys that they have to touch things. But here they are touching the creature -- We found out later that they can carry lice! yuck!!! Hopefully this will not be the case and we will escape lice free!

Yep these are the men I love so much! --Adventurers and Explorers
