Neighbors can be so much fun at a time like this.Originally Posted by tttaylorrr
did you scare the pants off of them when you picked it up?Years back, several of my neighbors were yelling to me from my back yard fence to "come quick!"
My dog had cornered a snake at the base of my largest tree...it was coiled up, hissing & lunging, while she did her best just to check it out, not trying to harm it.
I saw immediately that it was a harmless adult black rat snake & I picked her up to show the neighbors...they looked at me as if I'd landed from another planet?
Especially because the snake never tried to bite me or anything...when you're not 'heavy-handed', they seem to know you're not a predator, and that snake was
relieved to be rid of my dog. The neighbor's expressions were priceless. Thanks for conjuring up that memory.
