Fenris pup with a breaking news update. Remember that plank you saw youngest boybean walking across a couple of days ago. The one Mommy claimed she could walk across. Well we were going for our walk when Mommy decided to prove that she could walk across it. Since she didn't want to fall off she was carefully watching where she put her bare feet and moving pretty slow and then she looked down and saw ................................................. A LARGE COTTONY WHITE MOUTH WITH FANGS. Once her brain identified it she was scared witless (Her horse, Red the Second, got bit by one and nearly died so Mommy is deathly afraid of them). Thankfully I was in Good Fen mode and not I'll do what I please mode and minded Mommy when she said BACK NOW. We ran (and frankly I didn't know Mommy could move that fast) back to the house and interrupted Daddy putting shocks on the truck to come kill it. And Mommy collected all the cats and threw them in the house. She said this was one time they were not snoopervising for their own good. Daddy really didn't believe it was a
COTTONMOUTH MOCCASSIN until he killed it and got a good look at it's mouth. Honestly when Mommy gives a 100% ID he should know it's good, cause most of the time she just says she saw a snake (no idea what kind), she recognized this one right off the bat. Anyway there will not be anymore walking across the plank for us. Mommy is afraid where there is one there may be more so's we are staying a safe distance away from the pond. Sorry there aren't any pictures but Mommy said we were LOCO if we thought she was going to get close enough to take a picture even after Daddy deaded it.

WOW!

I'm glad your mommy is okay albeit a bit 'rattled' -

Yikes! We are very glad everybuddy reached to safety! Well, except the snake o'course.
We have them at the swamp. Fortunately, we rarely see them. The city and our neighbors put out some sort of "snake-b-gone" stuff, but occasionally we see one out of the swamp, usually in or near the drainage creek/ditch.
PS. So far, Mom LOVES WordPress. Of course, our blogs are photoblogs that are not made for widgets, so there's nothing to slow them down (in theory, anyways!).
When Mom first tried WP a little over a year ago, we had self-hosted blogs. It has some advantages to self host, but also disadvantages. When an upgrade ate our blogs, we moved back to blogger. This time we are using WordPress.com blogs, hosted by WordPress. Not as many templates to choose from, but very user friendly and easy.
That must have been so scary, Fenris. Hope you all stay away from the plank. We found a snake on our walk yesterday but it was just a skinny little grass snake.
Woos, the OP Pack

Mommy is still very scared. To be honest I never saw anything. Mommy is still muttering "Oh my Cod what IF I had fallen off the plank on top of the moccasin" and "Thank Cod Fenris minded me for once". Funnily enough Mommy is reading a book where snakes were used to kill people so now she is seeing snakes everywhere. ~Fenris

PeeeeeS: Did yer dad get a treat fer makin that snake deaded?
