 I encounter many vermin while in ownership of two dogs and a cat. The Mountain Beaver is no small foe! An ancient one at that.

I feel you all were a little harsh on me here. Especially being that the immediate challenge that followed this one was entitled: Life & Death. I'm just happy I got such a vibrant reaction out of you all!

This doesn't come across as 'from the ground up' form me. It's more like 'from the ground across'. I don't find the subject matter of interest (yuk) and the background is distracting.

interesting subjec(did your cat bring that treat home?), but it doesn't quite meet the challenge imo.
