Bye Bye Snappy
Snappy was lasso’d on the bayou last night by a dog walking cowboy and Fish and Wildlife sent over one of their trappers, who tied up Snappy, renamed him Esmeralda (everyone is switching teams around here), and drove him to Lake Salvador and set him free.
Apparently Snappy was hot on the heels of two pom pom dogs and the cowboy was doing a good deed by rescuing these nondogs from certain death. Oh well, Snappy, excuse me, Esmeralda, was a welcome addition to the neighborhood after having endured the weeks of Swirl’s petition to change the provisos to serve wine and beer by the glass.
This also means those damn ducks are here to stay. We cruised by them last night in the canoe, they’re cute, and very duck looking, unlike our mallards and moorhens that populate City Park’s lagoons and the rest of the bayou, but they are a little too perfect and I was hoping Snappy would have at least had one opportunity to ruffle their feathers.
