My Daddy The Snake Whisperer!

Hey Everybody ~

Look closely below... that's right, Daddy caught a snapshot of this snake on our deck a few days ago. Sorry it's a little cloudy but it's been so humid here lately that it fogged up the camera. Mommy was so scared that she asked that Daddy get rid of the snake. Daddy was reluctant (because he said it was harmless) but to make Mommy happy, he headed out with a shovel. WELL... the next thing you know, Daddy came back into the house telling us that the snake got scared ... so scared that he hid into the exposed pipes that go into our neighbors house (thank goodness for us our pipes aren't exposed!).

So, now skip ahead a few days later (that would be today) and the snake came back! A Roofer guy that was working on a house a couple doors down knocked on our door around noon only to say that Mr. Black Snake was back. OH NO! So my Daddy went out with Mr. Roofer to try and capture the snake. SUCCESS! We called animal control but they wouldn't pick him up unless he was in the house or injured. So, my Daddy loaded him up in the car and off they went to the woods. Check out the photo below of Mr. Black Snake heading out to his new home.

Now all is well in the neighborhood and everyone is happy :-). My Mommy is not afraid anymore in fact she was singing "ding dong the snake is gone", I am able to go outside now if I want, and best of all.... My Daddy remains my hero!

Love,
