To Kill a Snake
Today I found a medium sized rust colored snake swimming around my pool. The same pool where my dogs dive for balls and I dangle my feet in the water. The snake must go. I hate it when snakes are in my pool. It makes is so much more difficult for me to come up with a killing plan. Today with the 14-inch (or more) snake slinking around I had to make decisions on what to do. I could try to scoop it out with the net, but I worried it would slither up the pole and come at me. So instead I used the net to bat at it a couple of times hoping to stun it, then scoop it and throw it out the back door. But my plans changed. I was able to stun it by hitting it with the net, then I hit it with the blunt end of a big axe. I am not embarrassed or ashamed or the slightest bit guilty about killing snakes, rats, roaches and spiders. I will kill a snake and did today.
The Snake!
Yuk!
The reptile is in snake heaven tonight where he’s not threatening me or my dogs any more.

Yikes! Okay, that may be the one and only reason why I wouldn’t want to live in Florida. This is your second post about meeting up with a snake in your yard! If it had been me, you would probably still hear me screaming.

I hate snakes too and have chopped a few heads off of them. Snakes are not welcome in my yard.

Yes, snakes are pretty much everywhere in Florida. It comes with the territory. Like Shannon said “No snakes welcome in my yard!”
