So That’s Why Their Mascot is a Gator!

So about that picture I posted…

This scary guy really is living in the pond in my brother’s new backyard.  I wonder if the former owners mentioned that in the closing?  What would they have said, exactly?  “No problems with the water pipes here, son, but don’t go lettin’ your cats out.  We got ourselves a gator back there. 
My brother, however, isn’t the least bit fazed.  When I asked him about it, he said, “Na, I’m not worried.  He’s not even that big,” he laughed.  “You shoulda seen the huge one we had walkin’ across the parking lot at work.”
From time to time, friends, I may have issues with living in the Midwest. But I gotta say—I’ll take our cold winter over sharing my yard with a gator!
 I realize, of course, that today is April Fool’s Day, but this is no foolin’.  This dude is fo real.

  1. Yikes!! I would not want that in my backyard either! Cats would be the least of my worries…hope he doesn't have any small children!

  2. Eeek! I hear ya re: "life in the Midwest" but I'd much rather deal with those issues than the fact that…that rather large reptile is a neighbor of mine!
