Gremlin's capture and recovery

Gremlin was, as expected, a tough cookie to catch. She would sit in front of the trap for a few minutes staring at the backdoor to see if there were any people around. Then she'd take a step in the trap, come back out again and stare at the door some more. Eventually she didn't see any people for a long enough amount of time, and finally went all the way into the trap (thank goodness hunger almost always wins out!!). She was not at all happy when the trap went off.

Gremlin also had a hard time with the sterilization. She turned out to be in the beginning stages of pregnancy, which tends to make recovery a little harder on the ladies. After not coming out of anesthesia past the recommended time the vets on hand had to give her an injection to wake her up, which is never something they like to have to do. She's feeling better now though, still groggy but at least active and aware. Only a couple more days of recovery and she'll be able to go back out and cause trouble in the neighborhood.
