Country living is the best

 

We have lived in the country for 13 years

and have loved every minute of it...or almost

every minute. It was such a nice day here

and we opened the front door to let the

sunshine in. A few minutes later my husband called

me to the living room where laid a snake in

the coiled position...the cat had been playing

with him. So we pick him up and take him outside

and dispose of him. About an hour later I saw the

cat out of the corner of my eye and she had

a skink about 5 inches long in her mouth. So I

chased her to the bedroom, praying that she

kept him in her mouth...thinking all along

that if she lets him go  I will never catch

him under the bed and will not get a good nights

sleep until he he is caught.  She held him tightly

in her teeth and I took him out of her mouth and

put him outside. The picture I am going to post is

a much bigger one for those of you that are not familiar with

skinks...they are harmless..but I still do not want

them in the bed...I did not take a picture of the

one she caught. Oh, by the way for the past two nights

I have had dreams of snakes.

 

do you know what kind of snake this is..I could not

find it on the internet.

There was about a 1/2" opening where the rubber flap

on the glass door had slid to the right..so that is back in place now so

hopefully it won't happen again.

 

 

Then about 2 hours later I heard the cats growling...like cat fight

growling. So I go to the living room and the inside cat is trying

to attack the cat outside through the glass. Ziggy adopted us

a few weeks ago..he is our barn cat. He proudly displays his

catches of field rats for us. 

 

 

So we have had an exciting day here.

 

Hope everyone has a wonderful weekend.
