Pic of that nasty ol' gator

I saw the little bugger sunning himself this morning on the drainage pipe. He looks pretty hungry......I told him that bassets are NOT on the menu!

You tell him, dad!

Is there a wildlife place or game warden or someone that can remove the gator, especially since you have two cute little girls living with you now?

Probably not, that guy doesn't look especially big (unless that is a huge culvert he is sitting on). Maybe a place like Critter Control or other wildlife removal companies could come and get it.

Those Gator twins you got have some trouble, i see.
Good thing their dad knows how to talk to a troublesome gator.

Thanks for the awesome pics! definitely keep us posted on how the twins are doing and how the gator is doing as well

Are you sure that's a gator? If you live far enough south in Florida, it might be a crocodile. His snoot looks too skinny to be a gator. It could just be the picture angle.

Pesky bad alligator or crocodile does have some awfully nice markings, though-- hey, Mr. Hank, methinks u should make a drawing or painting of it! i would myself, xcept i got no artistic or fine arts skillz

also, Mr. Hank, wanted to tell u and ur peeps about that Woody Allen movie, "Midnight in Paris." Since u r so good at art, ya might find it interesting. They reference a lot of well-known painters. it's pretty kewl, if u ask me.

ps. Gator Galz-- just make sure ur Pop gets that shotgun ready, ya know, just in case. hmm.... i keep worrying that ya might go out the backyard one day for potty and what if the gator is waiting for u on LAND??

could that ever happen?

Worm...there's a saying about gators. It's not the ones you see that you should worry about. It's the ones you don't. So I say just keep the Gator Twins away from the water's edge. Luckily gators and crocs can only dash at great speeds for a few feet. If you ever have one chasing you just run at right angles. They can't change direction as fast as we can. The gator does look pretty small but doesn't lessen the danger of course! Good luck and stay safe Gator Twins!

I hope your Bassets don't like to swim! Here is a picture I took of a Falcon nest located across the parking lot from the local dog park (picture is not very good). Glad my dogs are big enough not to get swooped up!!

and from the dog park:
