Gopher Guest

Last time it was a shrew, tonight we had a gopher pay a visit. We need to keep our doors closed.

After we caught him and did our photo shoot, we released him in a wooded area at the far corner of our lot, far from the lawn and garden. Just a few minutes later he was scurrying across the patio back to where the gopher holes in the lawn are. I’m really not sure how he found his way – it was pretty far. We caught him again and took him for a ride to an empty field. We really don’t want him back in the lawn, and the gopher erradication guy is coming out this week. I didn’t have the heart to play whack-a-mole with him, so off he went.
