Night Visitor

This is what decided to grace us with it's presence about 2 weeks ago.
Mom, just skip this blog.
We let the dogs out and Hunter heard them both making a fuss about something. He looked out and saw Lucy bristled from head to tail. He went out, saw the snake, and threw both dogs back in the house. Meanwhile, I haven't seen it, but I'm freaking out! Once he figured out what it was and that it wasn't poisonous, I hear, "Jess, get your camera." Really? I thought, "A gun or shovel sounds more useful to me!"
This was no small garden snake, and my first encounter. You can see how it was right up against our house near the back door. I never saw it and I kinda like it that way.
He must have been camera shy, because once Hunter took the picture he slithered away.
Needless to say, I didn't sleep very well that night.
