I'm glad you were able to read it all the way through, much appreciated.<br /><br />Thanks, Helen!<br /><br />Sonia, is that because it's small enough to hide under a house? Heehee. I do love to hear Mason tell these stories. I'm not sure if he dreams them or just makes them up.<br /><br />Nick, it certainly is! I would probably not have had a flash this week otherwise.<br /><br />Katherine, I think any biologist would be excited to discover new species. Working with Lee seems to be the express lane there…<br /><br />Patricia, my wife's uncle was the same way.<br /><br />Icy, but it's all in a day's work for our intrepid exterminators. Good thing Kate went under there and found the eggs… I'm sure the lady of the house would have been bummed to find a whole bunch of them under there later.Larry Kollarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08317037795075278427noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12954391.post-68619023312926535172013-10-13T13:41:25.082-04:002013-10-13T13:41:25.082-04:00Hydras are pesky critters for getting under your h...Hydras are pesky critters for getting under your house.Icy Sedgwickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11501193571425442406noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12954391.post-52043705341498711072013-10-13T13:10:31.394-04:002013-10-13T13:10:31.394-04:00I'm never letting my grandma read this story. ...I'm never letting my grandma read this story.

Good to see you here again, too.<br /><br />Draco, he comes up with these on occasion. The common thread is, real life would get an exterminator or Animal Control involved. ;-)<br /><br />John, I put Mason's original at the bottom. Yup, it's fun to spin these into a flash.<br /><br />Thanks, Cindy and Steve! This is actually the second story involving this guy (and the second that Mason started for me)… see <a href="http://farmanor.blogspot.com/2013/05/chomp-fridayflash.html" rel="nofollow">Chomp!</a> for his first appearance.Larry Kollarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08317037795075278427noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12954391.post-82816176148432451162013-10-12T08:01:16.566-04:002013-10-12T08:01:16.566-04:00I certainly like these two characters, entertainin...I certainly like these two characters, entertaining and amusing.
