TRAPPER DAVE

TRAPPER DAVE

We had a wild life issue, had to give my crying wife more than one tissue. So, we called the mighty David, a tall muscular man is he, who explained the problem as he did see.

A special trap would be in order, to capture the unwanted boarder. When I asked about the bait, he answered; marshmallows, my jaw dropped, and I thought, what a funny fellow!

Knowledge is power, his expertise was the downfall of this wild beast. The next day the Raccoon was held at bay, sleeping on its lap, locked securely in a humane trap.

A beautiful looking animal, not to be again roaming around our home, but the only thing it will see, is its new home among the trees, many miles away, farewell my hairy friend, I say.

If you ever come to Florida and buy a home, be aware that the wild life comes free, look up Dave, don’t let the creatures make you their slave, they steal the birds feed, which makes them a masked knave!

    I'm so glad it was a humane trap and with marshmallows too. I cant think of a nicer way to capture your visitor to rehouse him.

    I cant help wondering if when he wakes up in his new home will he think "Wow that was some powerful food. I have no idea how I got here". :) best wishes Milly x

      You are one funny lady! I love your comments pertaining to the Raccoon. Did you know that marshmallows contain a special ingredient that helps sleep? I heard it on the radio, it was proven by a special testing, do a search about the benefits of marshmallows. One caution is the amount of refined sugar.
