Using Rowdy For Bait

Last week on the local news there was a five foot long alligator spotted in a local Oklahoma river.  So we used Rowdy as bait to catch him, by putting his harness on, clipping on the leash and then went trolling for alligators. ......NOT!   April Fools!

The alligator story is true though.  Below is a picture of the alligator from Tulsa's News On 6 website.  It was spotted on a creek near Watts, OK up in the northeast corner of the state.

Actually, we did use him for bait, but to catch another dog.  There was a stray dog that was hanging around my shop, that looked like she was part Afghan or Greyhound.  The poor thing was half starved to death and Sherry, who owns a auto repair shop across the street with her husband, had been trying all week to catch her so she could take her to the Humane Society.  Sherry didn't want the city to pick her up because if no one claimed her, they would put her to death in seven days.

When I took Rowdy out for a walk, the stray would come up close to him and almost followed us back into the shop.  So later that day we used him as bait and lured her into the shop to catch her.  She is now with the Humane Society and they will bring her back to health and find her a good home!
