My dog barked, the gopher growled, and it took quite a lot of fenagling to get the two apart without being bitten by either one. Very scary. Go, you, for being so courageous and strong!YankeeAmandahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03038710604324514484noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9932778.post-1124203586998768392005-08-16T09:46:00.000-05:002005-08-16T09:46:00.000-05:00That's just great!

You crazy, foul language spewing, pregnant lady... ;)<BR/><BR/>Okay... let it be know that gophers are a nusiance up here as well... especially for the farmers... I recall a few years ago driving down a minumum maintanence road with me at the wheel... my 12 guage hanging out the left window and my friend's 12 guage hanging out the right window... we would creep up and then blow them away... I realize this seems like a redneck thing to do... but for one, they reak havoc on a corn field and two, the cats were hungry. lol.Greghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05228910598296182482noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9932778.post-1124147720521802532005-08-15T18:15:00.000-05:002005-08-15T18:15:00.000-05:00I got a good laugh out of this one!

Relief? Amusement? Pride of course!

My majorly pregnant sister yelling profanities and beating a yellow-tooth critter as her big Lab excitedly runs around wanting to join in on the "fun".<BR/><BR/>So what did Tux do during this adventure?
