'Fraidy cat!

I am at work. My dogs and cats are at home and in the house. Unfortunately, my horses would not fit in the house.

I do not want to go home.

Reason???

Right there. Wrapped around my itty bitty flower garden when I came up from feeding and watering horses and was preparing to water my flowers....F.N. SCARY.

I would not be scared except that I was unable to kill the bugger and he slithered under my porch. When I brought my dogs in I brought them in one at a time, on a leash with me having a rake in one hand and the dog on my other side. My dogs are too old to sustain an rattlesnake bite and survive.

I have been checking out snake traps. I have been checking out snake repellent. Personally I am hoping that when I go home he will be laying in a position that will allow me to run him over with my truck about 75 times and then I won't have to worry about trapping him. Or her.

My biggest fear is that it is a female and having babies under my porch even as I type. I did not sleep at ALL last night. And I am an Arizonian born and raised in the desert. I am not a wimp, but for some reason this scares the bejeebers out of me.

One of us has to go. And since I pay the bills it is going to have  to be him.

Pray for the safety of my family until I can get this resolved..........
