After work today, went to dinner with 2 girlfriends from Harbourmaster.
During dinner, I heard the most recent gator story. Yesterday, a raccoon was spotted at Joy and Ted's just down the lagoon from 401. Ted's son works with the wildlife commission here on the island, which is why Ted happened to have a suitable trap. Long story short...1 trap and 1 can of cat food later, the raccoon was safely secured inside the trap. No problem! Until Ted's son could come and pick up the trapped raccoon, the trap was placed just off their deck. (Keep in mind this is also my lagoon!!!) When they looked out to check on Mr. Raccoon, much to their surprise, they saw him nose to nose and eyeball to eyeball with Mr. Gator!
In an attempt to shoo the gator away, they made tons of racket! No dice! Mr. Gator picked up the trap and dropped it right in the lagoon...only to follow and try to get his "lunch" out of the trap!
True story! They caught it on film. Hopefully, I'll be able to add them to the blog gallery.
Meanwhile, my two wild animals need to go for a walk!

...we'll walk carefully...and that will NOT be near the lagoon. Have a great Wed. Love, Sue
