Mako the “A Mole!” Killer

That’s me (above) in action with my shark B-day present that Punch tries to steal. Try and catch me!

I tracked down a furry thing that Leslie (She Who Must be Obeyed) called “A mole! A mole!” Punch wasn’t with me at the time so it was all mine. I was trying to dig it out from under the drain spout. Leslie thought I was after a bug. Shows what she knows! Hah! I could smell something furry under that thing that the drain pipe was sitting on. I was digging under it and Leslie tried to stop me. I kept digging. I could even hear that thing squeaking. It was just crying out to die. I insisted that Leslie remove that thing and let me get that creature. Then she did and turned it over ... That’s when this grey thing came flying toward my face! I don’t know how it happened but it was airborne! That’s when I found out what it was. Leslie yelled, “A mole! A mole!” I did what any good Airedale would do and chomped it good! Several times real fast. It screamed and I gave it the terrier death snap. I threw it into the air which was kind of a waste ‘cause I couldn’t find it later. It must have gone over the fence. I checked the ground. It didn’t dig back into the ground. I know they do that.

Once I was just standing there, sniffing the air, and “A mole! A mole!” popped right up out of the ground - right at my front paws. What joy! I quickly bit it several times as it screamed and screamed. I dropped it to get a good look at it when Leslie grabbed my collar! The “A mole! A mole!” disappeared into the ground. I peed on the hole but I still wanted to bite it again.
