Duckling Diaries: the Life and Times of a Welshie Trio

[DwayneNLiz]

the only problem with killing all of them is they do help keep mice/rat pops down

Wow, sorry!  When did that happen?
I hope we don't have these critters around where I live.    

End of December. It's dead now, so that's one beastie that won't come back again and get Jace.

I have a big King snake that lives (mostly hides) in my yard. Snakes are my ultimate kryptonite... Good ones, bad ones, caged ones, it doesn't matter, I just can not control how badly they freak me out. I only allow King William to live near the broom to hopefully keep the rattlesnakes out & the mice population down.

I had a pair of garter snakes that lived under the coop, stepped on them a few times when I was hurrying to close up and they were out and about in front of the coop, but other than that they warn't much trouble

Oh dear God... I would've had a heart attack & dropped dead on the spot.

Glad it's dead!

{shudder} I hate snakes!

Good news..."Minks are generally scarce in Missouri..."
Bad news..."Up to 13 different species of weasels can be found in Missouri..."

Thank goodness both of those times were earlier in the year, when I was still wearing shoes.... Stepping on one barefooted woulda made me jump a bit.

I'm quite sure I'd wet my pants...shoes or not!!

I don't mind garter snakes... The yellow stripey ones are a different story.

I'm not prejudiced. I hate them all equally!!
