Great. I got up and went into the laundry/storage room and heard the scratching. Went back into the bedroom to wake up Nerdstar and then to explain to the pets just how useless they were!
I'm pretty sure Little Man brought this mole in and then got bored with it. Silly had no interested. And I don't think the dog even heard it. Ugh.
It was almost three inches long. We put it in a big bucket with a lid and then decided I'd take it down to a very big field about a mile from the house and set it free. We just couldn't kill it.
About two weeks ago Little Man did manage to kill a baby one and bring it in and leave it in his food bowl. So this probably isn't the last of them.
