These horrible headlines are terrifying. Women can’t take it. We keep homes and cannot take wildlife in our homes. We are hard wired for it.
This headline will haunt me.
I think I’ll check the flap.
My wife was folding towels out of the dryer once and started to put on in the linen cabinet and felt something ‘lumpy’.
Thinking it was a misplaced roll of TP or something, she grabbed it and unfolded the towel and there was a POSSUM hissing at her!.................
Good for him, freeing the snake. It’s a Black Rat Snake, one of the best critters you, I, or anybody can have on their property. All they do is eat rats, mice, and other vermin. Indeed, several years ago, I had a couple of immature rat snakes get caught in some landscape netting, got down on the ground, and carefully freed them.
Of course, if we turned the clock back about 60 years and you were my poor, long suffering mother, you’d be really horrified when you saw me walking around in a tee shirt full of live garter snakes. One of our next door neighbor’s favorite memories of mom is her standing on the back porch, with a totally sick look on her face, carefully turning the pockets of my jeans out at arms’ length. If I’d have found that snake, I’d have proudly returned home with it unharmed, alive, and hanging around my neck.
Have a nice day. Yes, I know, I have the evil mind of a spotted adder.
Had a pool heater stop working, same thing, snake in the electrical wiring box. It slithered off, unfortunately through a hole further into the device, beyond my reach.
I have to stop the story here, to avoid animal rights attackers.
Then I shouldn’t tell you about the 6 ft. racer in the toilet that shot out hitting me between the eyes and then chased everyone through the house or about his cousin who wrapped itself figure eight around my feet or the rattlesnake that came this close to striking me when I was shelling peas or the bazillion snakes the kitties proudly brought to this desk to show me or the copperhead they didn’t tell me about that was in the guestroom or...
Agreed....I would drop dead if I found that in my dryer.
I don’t know why I even clicked on the post. Now I’ve got to go get laundry out of the dryer. Great, just great.
