I’m curious about ‘Events’ being a ‘Pain in the butt’ and think there must be ‘stories’ to share on that one. Bloody Sunday??? Seriously?<BR/><BR/><B>AppleDebbie</B> – Labs are the best ever! They’re soooooo sweet. Molly says ‘woof’ … that's 'lab' for thanks ;--)<BR/><BR/><B>Andrée</B> – Yez … it was definitely some coincidence that makes me smile in remembrance as I type this response. I hadn’t thought about the legalities involved, so thanks for the ‘heads up’ … I will check that out. For now, all seems well. I’ve covered up the two holes with bricks and no new ones have cropped up … so I’m hopeful they gophers have moved on.<BR/><BR/><B>I appreciate each of you visiting and sharing</B> your thoughts. Hope you’re all having a wonderful Wednesday! I’m trying to clear out the more than 300 accumulated email messages while I watch Nadal play his (much delayed) 1st round match (previously recorded so I can fast-forward through ‘commercials’ to save time) against a newcomer on the scene named Belluci … in very windy conditions making it quite competitive.<BR/>Hugs and blessings,storytellerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14101550406171982090noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3728583087900011692.post-4169647157743417382008-05-27T17:13:00.000-07:002008-05-27T17:13:00.000-07:00Hi!Is the pup really named Molly also?

It is illegal here to kill them. You can only move them. Because they are so important to the ecology (eating grubs, aerating soil, etc etc). And I think they are so cute. Unfortunately the cats kill them occasionally. But we don''t have neighborhoods here, just a house now and then, and yards are sort of outgrowth of the woods. Good luck! I'm glad it won't get killed.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3728583087900011692.post-36198378458951877312008-05-27T16:15:00.000-07:002008-05-27T16:15:00.000-07:00Oh my goodness... they do look like sisters!

I’ve not seen the gopher himself … just the two holes. Yesterday I covered the two holes with bricks and no NEW holes have appeared, so perhaps the critter has moved on? (I'm keeping my fingers crossed and hoping for the best here)<BR/><BR/><B>Shannon</B> – They did enjoy playing together. I don’t like gophers either because I’m afraid they’ll destroy my lovely yard by eating the roots of my plants. Thanks for the feedback about my mutterings. The words were ‘fun’ this week!<BR/><BR/><B>Deb</B> – I was surprised that I remembered … but the images were ‘fixed’ in my mind somehow. I took (and dumped) many pictures with half of both dogs because they moved so quickly, but by taking LOTS of photos … I did end up with a few keepers. I also took a couple of video clips of them playing together.<BR/><BR/><B>Troy (of the Texas Travelers)</B> <BR/>I have no idea WHAT one feeds a gopher … and methinks I don’t WANT a gopher living in my yard … so I wouldn’t want to encourage it to stay.<BR/><BR/><B>Carletta</B> – If you’re referring to the movie Caddyshack … it seems to me Kenny Loggins sang the theme … but my memory isn’t what it used to be.<BR/><BR/><B>I’m delighted to find all your comments this evening</B> as I sit down to watch TENNIS.

I thought Molly was white (with just a touch of yellow on the tips of her ears & tail … and the backs of her hind legs … and ‘eyeshadow’ that makes her look as if she’s wearing makeup) until I met this new Molly puppy (who had no yellow anywhere … and no dark marking around her eyes). <BR/><BR/><B>ChrisB</B> – How cool to discover we have this in common. I love the camera but really don’t know much about all the features even though I’ve owned it a few years now. It’s fun to take video clips occasionally and the various automatic ‘settings’ for various conditions and subjects are very handy!<BR/><BR/><B>Anna</B> – We let them play for about 15 minutes before the guy and young Molly wandered off to meet his wife & family at Dog Beach. Apparently he’d dropped them off there with another dog and gone in search of parking on the street since none was available in the lots near the beach. That’s how they happened by our house in the first place.<BR/><BR/><B>Gracie</B> – How cool! I’m glad my ‘mutterings’ prompted some good memories for you. I’ll be over to check yours when I finish responding to comments here.<BR/><BR/><B>Hootin’ Anni</B> – Well … ya know I’m a California Gal … born & bred … so most references to other places tends to come from such ‘associations’ … therefore, I don’t know if ‘clever’ is accurate. LOL<BR/><BR/><B>Misty Dawn</B> – It was a huge surprise … very ‘Twilight Zone’ like now that you mention it. This happened last Sunday, shortly after I published my Camera Critters #5. I was sorely tempted to amend that post, but decided to wait until this week so I could finish reading my book and enjoy the lovely weekend weather … and so no one who had already visited would miss it. This weekend I need to read A Thousand Splendid Suns because Book Club is Thursday … but here I sit at the computer ;--)<BR/><BR/><B>Indrani</B> - You’re right about that!<BR/><BR/><B>Sharon</B> – Yorba Linda is quite a ways from here … so they’re not likely to be friends, however we do have several neighborhood ‘labs’ …(along with other breeds)… that Molly likes to play with … and she always finds playmates at Dog Beach when we visit.<BR/><BR/><B>Corey</B> – It really felt surreal at the time … in fact I checked the puppy’s tag and showed her master’s Molly’s tags as we laughed watching them frolic together. I’ve tried putting a brick over both entrances hoping to encourage the critter to ‘move on’ … but that may backfire I suppose. I really don’t know what to do, but am hoping someone can point me in the right direction. I hate to call an exterminator, but may need to do so.<BR/><BR/><B>Rhea</B> – Molly’s always excited to meet ANY fur-friend … but they did play together nicely. I’ve loved all my dogs throughout the years … from Beagles to mutts of all kinds. Molly is such a sweetheart. I was looking for a ‘chocolate’ lab initially, but she stole my heart! I don’t know how ‘cool’ this ‘gopher’ is. Methinks I don’t want to ‘name’ the new ‘critter’ however because I’m hoping he moves on before destroying my yard seriously!<BR/><BR/><B>Thanks everybody for visiting and sharing</B> your thoughts!
