Alligators are as abundant as mosquitoes around here. Everywhere you look there are gators. A couple months ago Raven and I was outside and she ran up to me with that stupid look she gets when something ain’t right. She takes off and runs under the house. I hear her barking and raising hell and as I get closer I hear a loud hissing sound. As I get down to look I see it’s an alligator. Raven has it cornered and I holler her name and she goes in for the kill. Well being a rookie gator killer, she grabbed it by the tail. The gator spun around a latched on to her shoulder. This is when the circus started and I went to laughing. She quickly turned the gator loose but the gator wouldn’t turn her loose and she wasn’t real sure what to do or which way to go. She finally spun the gator off of her. Now she’s really pissed off but ain’t real sure what to do. She’s barking, growling, and making sure she keeps a safe distance from its mouth. She corners it again and I’m able to get under the house and grab it. Well now that I have control of the gator, Raven gets real brave now and decides to attack the gator in my hands. Ok, I’m not a small, agile individual and I’m on my hands and knees trying to control the gator and keep Raven the gator killer away. It’s a total chit show!! I finally make it out from under the house and the gator, myself, and Raven are full of red dirt. I’m walking around with the gator in my hands looking for a rope and the whole time Raven is trying to tear this thing apart. I get a rope and tie the mouth shut and hobble it so it can’t get away. I set it on the ground and now Raven won’t get within 6’ of the gator. Ya she’s a bad dog!! I grab it to put it on the 4 wheeler and Raven the gator killer shows back up. Now she’s brave again. I load it up and bring it out back to a canal and chunk it in there. It’s always an adventure around here.
