Yesterday, the reason why I wasn't posting, because I try to be faithful to you my minions and post everyday, or I'll lose you all to others.... well you know. Anywho, I had to go outside and try to get this snake that was terrorizing my Bostons. I know, I know. What in the hell could terrorize a Boston Terrorist besides a squirrel, you may ask? A Coral snake. YES!!! This kind of snake wasn't coming out until dark but you never know if it was hungry or not and where there is one there are others. So I called my neighbors to warn them. My neighbor 2 houses down from us said he killed one this morning he found under some bricks he was going to use. Everyone else was on alert.
I decided to tape my flashlight to my Luger pellet gun and wait until morning to get the little bugger. My patience paid off. About 3 am this morning I got dressed and crept outside with my gun and killed it. It was in my garden looking for something to eat obviously. I won't gore you with the nasty details or put pictures of it on my page cause I felt sorry for killing such a pretty animal. It was only doing what it does naturally. I wasn't going to take any chances on getting bit, not with my luck. So now you know how I spent my day yesterday.

oh my! what drama- I can see you lurking around your backyard with gun and light in hand.
I hope no others come out to play!
The pups are lucky to have you! And don't worry about not blogging everyday. You won't lose me!
Did ya skin it ta make dem boots you've been a wantin'? - J
Good idea with the pellet gun. I remember living in Florida where folks are just as worried about coral snakes. I've heard of drivers going out of their way to run over them if they see them in neighborhoods. Sad for the snake, but no so much for the pets and kids who don't know to stay away.
