I’ve been here since December 2002 and They’ve been here since that April. We saw our first rattlesnake this year-and I posted about it on March 28th. Every morning, the irrigation system starts at 8:35. He noticed something that needed maintenance and at 9:30 he headed out to fix it. On His way there, He found this:
See the rattles on the end. It was under a lime tree. The rabbits dug a little furrow in the dirt that gets wet from the drip system and they lie there because it is wet and cool. You won’t find any rabbits there right now because they’ve been evicted under penalty of death. Here’s another view.
He left it alone. All it wanted to do was to cool off. I have the feeling that Kenzie and I won’t be allowed out the back much today.

If it shakes rattles and rolls leave it alone!

That means we can’t go near the car next door?
Scary stuff. We’re not even allowed to go where there ‘could-be-a-snake’ in the summer!
XXXOOO Daisy, Bella & Roxy
But this was in OUR back yard. Where to piddle?
My uncle Fergus spotted an Eastern Brown snake in his backyard last year, they’re the second most venomous snake in the world! He wasn’t allowed outside without supervision for AGES!
In that case, I won’t let my peeps see this-They’ll get bad ideas.
Whoa there guys – now that’s a real snake, all sneaky-like, hiding in its hole! Not like the tiny little slithery things we have here on our soggy island that is the United Kingdom! Oh well, looks like its “crossed legs” today for you and Kenzie today!
We finally got to go out, after a security check of the back yard. AHHHH
Ooh, scary looking critter! Maybe you andv Kenzie can leave a little note by that furrow, telling that thing this is YOUR yard! He’d get the message, right?
Rumor has it that snakes can’t speak Terrier or read in any language. I do know that if I hear rattling, I’m in trouble. The pictures aren’t the best but He didn’t want to get too much closer for some reason.
Really? You don’t think snakes can smell your peemail messages? That’s too bad. Hmm… how else can we tell them just whose yard that is…?
They are under the impression that it is their yard.
Snakes, somebody read snakes and bites took of to the house, woder what he would do if the real thing came through
He’d live!
And I worry about thunderstorms.
