Serpico the skunk.......Part 1

Hi.....it's me.....Annie Grace......

It is complete chaos here. Let me recap last night. The trap is set for Serpico and as The Lady has NO patience she proceeds to check it every 5 minutes starting at 8:30. Finally at 9 PM as she walks out to check....Serpico sticks his beady little nose out from under the deck and of course.....because she WAS THERE.....he went back under. 10 minutes later when she can not wait any longer, she looks again (I actually look with her from the window but could not really see because she was hogging the window so I jumped up on the dining table to which there was no screaming at me because she was possessed with victory).....he is TRAPPED! Now she proceeds to take pictures of him.

I am quite certain......this is not normal. I know that if I was trapped, being photographed would irritate me. Personally I heard the guy at DOA specifically tell her not to antagonize him. I think this is what he meant. Now she is feeling quite victorious about the trapping and is now goggling how to get a trappers license as the declining real estate market might not rebound quickly so this could be a "side job". About 16 minutes go by and she can not help herself she starts to head outside again. I myself go to bed. Now she comes flying back in the house and I just about fell off the bed as she is hyperventilating to me "Annie.......Serpico escaped. He is gone and he ate all the cat food in the trap". Well of course he did!!! He was trapped.

He went out the back door.

Needless to say you can well imagine what is in store for tonight. Our covert operation will continue. I myself and going on line to see exactly how to remove being sprayed by a skunk.
