Jack

Snakes, Snakes, Snakes

It's beginning to feel like summer. It's hot and humid and the snakes are out. I don't even want to take a picture of them to share - ok, maybe later. There are traps all around the property and thank goodness for netting at Home Depot. That netting does keep the snakes away. They get in it and can't move, eventually they die. Unfortunately, the netting is also trapping the good stuff...like black (King) snakes which are good to have around. They eat poisonous snakes! And, I have found birds caught in the netting ;-( I just hate that!!

We are surviving but Jack is so curious. He wasn't the one that was bitten by a copperhead almost 4 years go. Taz, as tiny as she was, one summer night got too close to some bushes and a copperhead bit her on her little paw. We rushed her to an emergency animal hospital. She was in shock and her paw looked like a catcher's glove. Poor little thing.

It's always something...either my dogs are getting skunked or snakes present an immediate danger!
