Uninvited Visitor

Rikki Tikki Tavi Pictures, Images and PhotosWhat a day! It began well and then it unraveled after my workout and visit with Mom. The climax of the day was when I walked into the house and our indoor dog dodged quickly outside as I entered. Then he came back to coax me outside. Upset with the day's events, I thought he was just being silly. Then I saw IT. A snake standing up, and the bags I were thrown to the couch after slamming the front door. The dog was locked outside until my husband came home. In the meantime, I kept an eye on the reptilian intruder. I thought that he was only 10 inches big, however, it turned out to be 3 feet long. I was NOT amused. Fortunately, Leigh got it out of the house. (Meanwhile Rocco the dog was NOT happy with us being indoors and him being outdoors so he kept nudging the doorknob constantly, wanting to make sure that we were safe I suppose.)
Either way we are now SNAKE-FREE and hopefully we will remain so in the future. Ugh! I got the heebie-jeebies thinking about this incident once again!
