Huntress and her prey
Last saturday I was sick (sinus congestion, cough due to cold, etc.) and spent the day sleeping. Elsie barked to go out so I walked her out to the back door. Zoe was in the yard and she had something hanging out of her mouth. What in the heck? It was a black snake! I went back to get the camera and then let Elsie out. Zoe dropped the snake, Elsie ran over to investigate, and the snake freaked and tried to strike Elsie. Note: I would not have let Elsie out if it was any other type of snake! So, Elsie freaked and did one of those crazy kitten jumps. If you've ever had a kitten, you know what I mean...straight up and back at the same time....I started snapping pics and captured a few OK shots. A few hours later she was still out there with it, tossing it around, etc. I haven't seen it since.

ReplyDeleteYou are so funny...I would be worried about it biting my dog! I can't believe they played with it that long! Nick found a rat snake today at Disney coming out of a rock wall. It was at Animal Kingdom so it was kind of funny that it really was wild and not behind glass.
ReplyDeleteAaack!
ReplyDeleteI am positively phobic about snakes.
Glad the fab felines stay inside.
