Snakes and Close Shaves

You know how Mom is always going on about rattlesnakes and how we have to be so careful here. Well two nights ago when I looked out of the door there was a rattlesnake! I'm not kidding!

DOD said to just leave it and it might go away....Mom said 'don't be silly, we have to get rid of it'. So then they had one of their discussions about who was going to sweep it away....DOD would not let Mom do it...so he put on his cowboy boots and got the broom.

I think the poor thing was half frozen because it did not put up much of a fight and DOD whisked it over the bank. Well of course now I am watched every minute .....even for my private things...I can't take much more of this torture!

It turns out that people are not supposed to deal with snakes, they are supposed to phone the fire department and the firefighters will come and capture them and take them to a safer place. So now we know in case we get another visitor.

On another almost equally as terrifying note...I got shipped off to the groomers. I mean I look better and that is good....I smell better too...but I don't think a mature dog should have to put up with the indignities! She even shaved my you-know-what.

I made a new friend named Alfie. He is a good sort...not mature and sophisticated like Me...but I tell him about my Island and he likes my stories. Alfie has never seen an Otter or had the pleasure of a roll....I think he would like to visit me next year.

For those of you who care, Lacey is doing well. She had a sore leg....pulled a muscle trying to execute some intricate dance step...I think she was trying to Twerk....but she is okay now. 

Bye for now friends. Send me notes telling me about YOU!

  1. Blue thinks that ladies with a certain avoiurdupois should not attempt to twerk---they should balter instead. Inka says--look it up!
