"Hello, little snake. You're very pretty. Thomas will definitely want to see you. Don't go away. Stay right there!"
He didn't listen to me though. By the time I got back with the camera, he was gone. I tried calling him, but it didn't work.
"Come back, pretty snake!"
(Snakes are above flattery.)
"Thomas will be so disappointed!"
(Snakes are impervious to guilt.)
"I'll make you a big star!"
(Snakes don't suffer from vanity.)
Oh, well. As with Thomas and his recent misadventures, things don't always work out like you plan.
OK, so what do I already have a picture of, that a first grade boy might like?
Maybe this.
Teeth on a deer skeleton.
Guess who dragged it into the yard.
Yep, that's who.
OK, Monk is coming on. It's the Halloween episode - I have to go watch Danny's house!
I thought I didn't like snakes - we don't have any over here in NZ, but lately I decided I'd reconsider as they are rather beautiful.
ReplyDeleteI love 'Monk'! That I do know.
Love this post too - it made me laugh! Cheers :)
Jasmine!
ReplyDeleteShe is so pretty...too bad about the deer bone breath.
It's probably crazy to keep the camera with you at all times, but still... a black and yellow snake!
ReplyDeleteJasmine is cute as ever. Hope Thomas likes the deer teeth.
Wow! I wanted to see the snake, but that's okay.
ReplyDeleteBlaze NEVER brings me anything good like a head or teeth. He did bite off a bird's head once, but that was gross.
Thank you!
What a fun post! I wonder if it was a Rat snake. Check on this link.

Sorry Thomas missed him.
Hope the school discipline thing works out fairly.
I was hoping to see a picture of the snake too. No, they are not good at minding what you tell them at all.
ReplyDeleteJasmine is a beauty. I'm sure she thought you'd love the deer teeth/skull parts as much as she did!
A youngester may take deer teeth any day over just a snake.
ReplyDeleteI love Monk also. Can't wait till the new season starts.
Thanks y'all!
ReplyDeleteYep, I think it was a Black Rat Snake. He was very yellow on the bottom - more than some of those BRS pics... That's a great link JLL!
The main problem with "Monk" is that they make about 6 episodes per season, then wait about 2 years til they make new ones. Seems like that anyway!
Fabulous dog, beautiful coat!
