Backyard buddies


The other day our alligator woke up. We have seen the same gator now for the 5 years we have been in this house. 5 years can you believe it? We think it is the same one, some one said they stay put unless they loose out in a fight to some one stronger, and our little shit was sure tiny 5 years ago and is steadily growing.

A benefit with a gator in your backyard is that they love to eat cats. There are a lot of sweet cats around but not the ones that takes a dump in your kids sandbox. The few cats that have so far has not been longed lived. Fine with me.

I have how ever informed the owners of these cats that they play Russian roulette with the gator in the mornings. Ha. ha the owners say, cats are fast. Well, what do you know, the gator is growing, no cat pop in our sandbox and signs in the neighborhood saying, have you seen this cat, missing since last Tuesday. It doesn't take Sherlock Holmes.

What is funny is that every time we let Milu out the gator swims over and they greet each other. it's like they have mutual respect that they both don't like cats. Or maybe the gator thinks, in a few years dog, I'll be big enough to eat you.
