Merlin the Mole that is actually a Vole lol

On Saturday we saw the neighbor's cat playing with some little critter in our front yard.  Hubby ran outside and scooped up the critter.  Turned out to be a young mole.  He seemed to enjoy being held.  We snapped a few photos then son released him in our backyard.  We have a lot of moles around.  My dad believes God gaves us moles to keep the ground aerated.   
Kyle named him Merlin. :)  I thought it was a fitting name seeing that he disappeared into the ground in a flash. :)

Is anyone watching the superbowl tonight?  We pre-ordered pizza and wings yesterday from our favorite place..Johnny's.  

Apparently moles get blamed for damage they don't cause.  For some mole facts click this link: Facts about moles
My friend Sandra, aka MadSnapper, has just informed me that we had a Vole not a Mole.  We should have noticed the difference because we've seen moles before, but I thought this one was just young.  We will have to keep an eye out for him. :)

Thank you, Sandra, aka...MadSnapper.

Is Merlin cute or what?!  He seemed to enjoy being held.
