A friend of Ed’s has a ground hog problem (I didn’t know ground hogs were real things – apparently they are big mean gophers) so she got a no-kill trap to catch the ground hog and then release it somewhere (I don’t know where – a ground hog reserve?).
.
Anywho, she bates the trap with peanut butter cookies and nuts.
.
She also has a terrier. Not a Good terrier – a good terrier would kill the ground hog. Ashford and Hastings once killed a Huge Rat’s nest inside a cactus plant – so a normal terrier would be unphazed by size or toughness (these were huge rats - not a hue nest). Although – in the Terrier’s defense, when you see the picture the ground hog is actually larger that the dog….
.
Anywho this friend also has a Mom who watches the dog, but “forgets” to walk her and just lets her run outside to pee.
.
All the characters needed for story… groundhog trap, slightly ditzy Terrier, slightly ditzy mom / dog watcher. Yes, ladies and germs, the dog ended up in the ground hog trap.
.
Twice.
.
.
The first time, the pup freaked a little.
.
The second time, she wanted to finish the peanut butter cookies before exiting.
.
PS – Ground hog WAS ultimately trapped and released into the wilds of New Jersey.
