no cats here....but we have 4 big dogs....and lots of lizzards. This year we seem over-run with blue tailed skinks. Sadly Onyx, the lab/chow mix, fancies herself "The Great Black Hunter". Bill and I have rescued many from her. Onyx brought one into the mudroom the other day. I got her off it,but it lost it's tail...thought it had run under the gun cabinet where it would surely have died. When I got back from the post office, Bill greeted me with "rescue mission". Somehow the skink had managed to travel from the mudroom, through the kitchen and into the dinning room where it was between the carpet and wall. Tossed the dogs out and saved the skink...same tailess one now covered in dog hair.

Then there was the time D*O*G ,catahoula mix, broght a mole/vole in. Poor thing was desperate to burrow in the carpet...got it in a jar and planned to put it into the garbage can. By the time I walked out to the road I didn't have the heart to do it so I let it go on the other side. Within an hour that sucker had tunneled back into my yard. Sometimes ya just can't win....oh well critter was a happy camper!

This is Onyx, Dixie (red nose pit) and D*O*G

and this is Bear. They ALL stay on critter alert...especially squirrels
