Reptile Hunters

We had a great weekend at Steeplechase and I promise to post on it tomorrow if you haven't already seen some pics on facebook. It was much better weather than last year, but it was still a bit cool and windy. Fun was had by all and I can't wait to show you the pics of everyone's outfits, but first I must show you what occurred yesterday in the yard. We went out to check on the garden (we have some sprouts already!) and Molly headed for the rose bush area on the left side of the yard. She kept running throughout there so I thought there might have been a dead bird or mouse or something. I called David to go see what she was doing and he couldn't tell and just let her be. We have an old dog house back there for just in case Molly ever got stuck outside she could take cover, but its pretty gross and she kept standing by it so I said just throw that thing away. So as he was pulling it out Molly went darting down the side of the yard. She kept backing up and going forward and backing out so I went in the house and sent David over there again.

He then ran for his machetti so I took cover. I knew it wasn't something small. Sorry for the bad pic, I was inside the house peeking out the door blinds. I didn't want Molly to get hurt so I was nervous. Turns out it was a snake! We think it was a garden snake and I know they are suppose to be good for your yard, but I can't have that with Molly there or me for that matter. We weren't sure if she got bit or anything like that because we saw Molly salivating and she wouldn't leave the area so David had to kill it. Warning, I am about to post a picture of the snake so its pretty gross and you can stop reading after this point. I'll keep the picture small, but for those who want to see it scroll down.
