Snake Patrol

With summer in full swing, the snakes are out in full force. Last Thursday morning, the dogs discovered a small bull snake behind the log bench on our patio. These snakes are "good" to have around because they are non-poisonous & rumor has it that they eat rattlesnakes. Ryan tossed the little guy over the fence and sent him on his merry way.
The next day, the dogs found a small rattlesnake in the flower bed! Unfortunately, this snake was not so lucky. We do have a special fence to keep the snakes out, but we seem to have a hole somewhere. Good thing Gunner & Lucy are always on patrol!
