another one down, but it's a team effort. the blue tube was key.Jae: so did mom just slide that marmot down the tube into the mouths of the waiting dogs?
something like that. she was really ticked that they took all the credit. d&w managed to trap the marmot in the tube, then barked at it till mom rolled the tube out from under the shed and tilted it up. weegee got it first, then danny grabbed it. not sure who delivered the fatal blow. mom, maybe?
danny is good at backing the marmot into a corner, but doesn't have the brains (or thumbs) to get beyond that. similar thing happened last week: danny trapped one of the adult marmots between two boards. he kept gnawing at the boards to get at the marmot but, well, he's no beaver. after a few hours of listening to his high-pitched barking i made him give up. i could easily have jumped on the top board and squashed the marmot but i . . . lack mom's steely constitution.
danny respectfully watched as mooga buried the marmot, but when weegee tried to get close to it . . .
not one to hold grudges, weegee relaxes after another exciting day.
