SNAKE TRAINING - IT PAID OFF!


Sunday morning Luna was out back chasing her favorite lizard when she started barking .  Darrell went out to check, and she was by the BBQ.  He heard a noise like the drip irrigation running....except it was Sunday, and we don't run the drip on that particular day.  He traced the noise to under the Jasmine vine, and there was a small rattlesnake coiled up.  We used to to be able to call the fire dept, and they would come and remove the snake, but they stopped doing that a couple of years ago.  So, Darrell knows a guy in the neighborhood who does that, and he came over and used a long pole with a gripper, and we put mr. snake in this box.  In a little bit, we'll go release him in the nearby desert..  We called her trainer and gave a report....he said he's always happy to hear stories with good results!
