Ugh I hate snakes. I'm scared of them so much I would more then likely have a heart attack if one crawled on me. Yeah I know I'm a wuss. Today I went over here to my in law's to get something to drink. We live right next door to them. Well, my husband comes over not too long later and asked if I seen the snake on our front porch. I said no and asked what kind it was. He said it was a rattle snake and it was up underneath the rocking chair. Apparently his cat had found it and stared it down that is what made him notice it. Well, by the time he got back over there it had already crawled off. I went back to our house watching my step this time. We finished watching our movie and I decided to come back over here to talk to my father in law. I walked down the steps and notice my husband's cat watching something. Sure enough it was the snake.
So I yelled for my husband and he came outside. Normally we wouldn't kill one but, our nephews and niece play outside and we didn't want them getting bit. My husband hates snakes too and didn't want to get near it. So I take the long way around the house to get my father in law. He comes outside to see what he could do about it. He grabbed the garden hoe and was planning on killing it. But, he didn't want to miss. Apparently they stood out there long enough and it got the attention of our local cop. I was inside making sure I knew where all the kids were. I got back outside in time to see the snake crawling into the bushes and the cop going after it. Not thinking that it could come my direction. Needless to say the cop too care of the problem and carted it off. Yeah I know this was a boring story. I couldn't help but, laugh at my husband and his dad because they didn't want to get too close. Well, I can't blame them I wouldn't want to either. But, it was still a funny sight.
I've always disliked my husband's cat but, I guess I have to adore her now. If it wasn't for her we could have gotten bit.
