Lulu Hunter



From time to time we get moles in our yard. They don't really bother me too much. I figure it's free aeration for the lawn. However, they do bother Lulu our dachsund and Grayson our cat. Grayson has caught a few moles in his day, but he's getting older and doesn't seem as motivated as he used to be. Lulu, on the other hand, has been tormented by the mole. She would head out to the backyard whenever she could to track the mole. She would get on the trail and start digging, which did bother me. The mole's trails weren't visible, but Lulu's holes were. Finally, after months of tracking, she caught the mole a couple weeks ago.

I wasn't home at the time. Helen was getting ready to head out with the boys when she noticed Lulu was hovering around her while she was getting ready to leave. She finally looked down and saw that Lulu had come inside and was carrying the mole. Lulu was so proud. It took a while for Helen to coax Lulu to let go of her bounty.
