Claiming of the Shrew

Actually, I think he was a vole, but the wee fella's hidden his last cashew nut in Lisa's boots. We borrowed little weight-triggered live traps from Pat and Adia, and I set them with one of Voley's favourites - breakfast cereal - and set them in the cupboard under the sink.
This morning I found him all curled up and chilled beyond hibernation in one of the traps. Poor little guy, his was just doing his own thing. For scale, the trap is about 3 inches (7.5 cm ) across.

Here's Pat and Adia at what was the first hockey game that Lise or I had been too.

The UAF Nanooks lost to Michigan State 5-2. It was a fun night out though. Perhaps the varsity soccer team should adopt the home-crowd tactic of chanting " You Suck! You Suck!" at the opposition keeper when the home team scores. Classic hockey fans.
