I feel really bad about this.
I mean I feel really REALLY bad about this... but here is my reasoning...
I'm driving up our road and I see something scurry across the road in front of me, it looks very odd, so I slow down and take a look.
Its a little mole. He was crossing the rode. He was so cute. His fur looked SO soft.
I looked at him and I thought about how cute and adorable he looked, but sadly I also realized that he was a part of the rodent family that TORE UP our lawn last year. I looked at him and sadly thought about his fate for about a minute. I had his fate in my hands. I could leave him alone, God's cute creation to burrow into the ground and go away. Or, I could run over him with my tire and put and end to the chance that he'll make his way back across the street and into my yard and TEAR IT UP again. I really hated those mole tracks all over our front lawn last year. This was probably my one chance to
So there you have it, my guilty conscience is getting the best of me. Sorry little guy.
Then of course my 4year old makes me feel even worse "mom, he was probably going back home to his family. why did you do that? Now his family will be lonely." aawwww, now I REALLY feel like crap! ugh!

Wow...you had the time to think of all that in the .2 seconds it took him to make it across the road?
I think this was premeditated.
not premeditated, but definately considered for a minute or so while I watched him on the side of the road trying to burrow into the rocks, when he finally found some dirt to start digging a hole into that's when I decided I needed to act now or he would be gone and be free to destroy my lawn. I told Dan how bad i felt and that I should have caught him and released him far away, he said "its a little late for that idea now don't ya think?" ugh.
I think it's funny that Ashley's HILARIOUS comment got completely analyzed and explained out. Rene...you are HILARIOUS! You're a killer! :o) ha ha..JUST KIDDING! I think you did the right thing. I HATE the messes those little pesks leave in our yard. Just because God created something doesn't give it a right to mess with us! I hacked the head off of a snake-remember. :o)
I'm not so sure those moles qualify as a "Wonderful" creation! :o)
