Glad you found the little bugger.
Not to steal your thread, but it's kind of a long the same line. I noticed we've been getting a lot less eggs for a couple weeks. Set out live traps but only caught cats. The other morning the dog was going nuts trying to get under one of the sheds. It didn't take long and he chased this out, across the driveway into the middle of the pasture and up a tree. I thought he was after a cat at first. I went out to get him and saw what it was so I came back in to grab a gun. Kirby (the dog) started to follow me so it came down the tree. Kirby went after it and got it back up another tree and held it there until I got back. It's the most useful thing I think he's ever done.
