Our Gopher Neighbor

This little guy haas been wreaking havoc on our front lawn for awhile. At first I thought our neighbor was piling dirty on our front lawn which was quite odd. As it continued to happen for a few weeks I began to wonder what it really could be. Ended up we had a gopher making itself at home in the front lawn. So strange that this guy decided that our front lawn was the best place for it to call home. We bought one of these sonic sticks that basically annoys them away by making a beeping sound every 30 seconds. Before we had the chance to use it, marlene saw this guy having a showdown in broad daylight with a neighborhood cat. She raced out to scare the cat away and this guy just dropped to the floor. He was still breathing when we got to him and alive in this picture but unfortunately he didn't survive and died at the animal hospital.
