    Fab Trap Linda !

    Have you heard him lately?

    xxx

    We saw him run across the dining room on Friday night, then we put food out last night and he wolfed the lot in the night.
    He's out of the walls, we think he's made a home behind the kitchen cupboards.

    He'll have 3 weeks in the cooler when we catch him

    It's easy to give in to that negative voice that chants "cant do it" BUT we lift each other up.
    We dont count all the runners ahead of us & feel intimidated.
    Instead we look back proudly at our journey, our personal struggle & determination & remember that there are those that never even attempt to reach the starting line.

    Evening all!

    Thank God that's over! The exam went well, there were at least two questions that I could answer with the minimum of verbal vomiting involved. I am knackered and will be going to bed soon. After all, I have to be up to start the thread again tomorrow. :D

    He didn't fall for the bucket trick at all, having said that, Maureen stuck her paw into the tube and whipped out the piece of chicken with the dexterity of a surgeon, so there was no reason for him to go up the tube.

    I was worried at 4am on Saturday morning when I was woken up by Dennis at the bottom of the stairs going "Rowp, rowp, rowp, rowp, rowp repeatedly. I thought he's either watching something or he's caught something!
    Went downstairs to find him proudly showing off a dead field mouse. Once I stroked him and ruffled his fur he shut up, i think he just wanted to show off his kill.
    Returned to bed while Dennis batted the dead mouse against the door.
    Phew!
