It's not unusual for us to find him staring down in a windowwell having a snit fit because of a wayward reptile. He's fallen in the wells too and gotten stuck, butt up in the air, in the need of being rescued.
Watching a movie after we got home from the show/trailer return and almost drifted off to take a nice nap. The Ms is riding her bike up and around the "neighborhood", almost a 2 1/2 mile trip. I figure that all the barking going on is because of her being on the road in front of the house goofing around. Well it sort of was--side track here, as she says it, forgot to stop and had an emergency bail into the ditch when she was trying to make the corner. Daydreaming I believe was the issue there. Anyway, she was walking the bike back for a small handle bar adjustment.
15 mins of barking. I finally had had enough--see the peepers post--I wanted some sort of peace and quiet today! Frank is next to the window well, staring. Barking. Staring. Looks at me when I say shut up and then almost bounces with a "humrpf" and stares more at the same spot. I yell at Alec to "go save what ever frog/toad it is that wandered in the yard" He goes out and this is what we find......
Can you see it? Yes that small, that harmless. A baby bull snake. I fear that's not the first one we'll see this year. Last year we found a nest of bullies near the garden and garter snakes in the mulch pile.
Needless to say, Frank was damn proud of himself. But I do wonder how many he ate before he got full and just started that damn barking?
Later gators...
