One used to get up on our deck and get into the trash. When we discovered it there one night, my husband wanted me to keep it on the deck while he went to get a gun! Yeah, that's gonna happen!

I would never have imagined they could move that fast.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10641059685087617173noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2600608370084874699.post-37118175953632806582011-11-07T14:15:54.595-05:002011-11-07T14:15:54.595-05:00Gave me yet another laugh!
