  1. You called it honey? It was teeny and cute, but not that cute.

  4. Smooch is the best! Glad it wasn't a rattler and do hope it was the last snake of the season.

  5. Love it that Smooch gets quiet as soon as you rope the little thing. What a good dog. Aunt Jean

  7. I would've just shooed him into the bucket but this was more fun to watch.

  8. "The size of Smooch's bark has nothing to do with the size of the snake" -- while the size of the snake is inversely proportional to the size of the operation necessary to apprehend it... :) I must say, I was definitely more relaxed "accompanying" you on this particular snake hunt than on the last rattler capture! Another fun adventure 7 miles south of nowhere, thank you! Bonus (in my mind): learning that you, too, are aware of the fact that the words What the hell, honey, and crap, go perfectly together in one and the same sentence = I greatly enjoyed your negotiations with Teeny Snake! ;)

  10. Those are the kind of snakes I am not afraid of...the ones you cannot die from. Smooch is such a sweetie.

  11. Nice job! For the little guys you can just pop a plastic container on top of them, then slide a ridged piece of something under it, voila! That's how we handle big bugs and lizards that end up where they shouldn't be.

  12. Not gonna lie, I would have just picked up that chair and banged it over the bin until the little guy fell in. But that's me. However your way was much more entertaining.
