No rabies for Eli!

The rabies test came back negative. Good news! We'll be moving on to the next adventure now! Here is a picture of Jonah in one of our pine trees. He went through a stage where he climbed every tree - as high as he could go - to check out the bird nests. I think he was inventorying what type of bird built the nest and whether the eggs had hatched yet. For this particular picture, I was hanging laundry outside and heard him calling me, but I couldn't find him anywhere. I suppose you can see why! And here he is after catching a wren. Birds don't carry rabies. I guess we have to have a list of wild animals they can catch and which ones they can't.

Here he is again setting up an experiment - or "trap" as he says.

Designing the trap.

It's ready. If a brick falls on an egg, what happens?

Setting off the trap with a hammer (what else would you use???) You guessed it, the egg smashed all over the cement. Mission accomplished. The cats enjoyed cleaning up.
