Aww... I hope he didn’t kill it?
We had/have 2 Garter snakes in the pond this summer, Mrs S was not happy! They’d go for swims.
My dad let it go in the garden...THEN my mother said (and I quote) “Bill, I swear, if you let her bring one more animal in this house, I am leaving!” My dad did what any good father did....he winked at me, told me to get in the car, and we went to the store and bought 2 guinea pigs LMAO! (They were married 67 years....Im guessing mom didnt mind the pets all that much ;-)
