Ding Dong the Slug is Gone!



I don't know if you can tell from the picture below -- but there has been a silver trail under my dining room table every morning for the past few months!  Every morning I would wake up to a new design made by some sneaky slug that mooched our fallen crumbs from the previous day.  Every day I would vacuum it up and every morning there would be new trails.  It drove me INSANE!!  But I could not find the stupid thing.  My sister Jessica offered to give me some of her snail bait -- but I only would do that if Sam would agree to be there in the morning to clean up the mess -- because that is DISGUSTING!!  Sam however would not agree because he decided if the slug was that good at hiding he deserved to live.  So I have bee living in constant frustration until this morning.  I heard Addie squeal.  And then gag. And THERE was the SLUG!!! I ran and woke Sam up and made him pick it up and throw it outside.  Hurray!! I am so happy to have that thing out of here...but will miss it in a way ;)

Can you email me so that I can get your email address? I did some photoshop actions on one of your pictures and I'm going to send them to you. =)

April,

Sorry that I did not respond to your earlier request. We were out of town. It sounds like you have things fixed though. I was enjoying Christmas music while reading your posts. Love the new background too! I am excited to change mine from fall to Christmas as soon as I have a chance. Great job!

I love Sam's comment that because the slug is so good at hiding that it deserves to live. That's hilarious!
