Richard has been to the Vet
I trapped Sir Richard this morning. He has been avoiding the smaller trap, so I used the drop trap and it went very smoothly.Thomas came in house for a bowl of milk, so he did not interfere. He stayed outside the trap until Eastside and Dora finished eating then went in. I waited until his head was down, tail clear, and he was fully engaged in eating. He was scared, but not completely panicked. I set a foot on top of the drop trap to prevent it from moving and in a moment, he exited to the small trap for the trip to the vet. He got the full service; neuter, vaccinations and parasite treatment. I released him this evening as the temperature was dropping from the 100 degree high. He quickly calmed and took his normal path back to the north at an easy pace. I hope to continue seeing him daily.
