Life in the desert

Hi all,
Just another update in the life of a desert rat. Yesterday while cleaning the back courtyard, Bob found a rattle snake curled up taking a snooze in a pile of leaves. I thought he was just messing with one of his buddies when I heard him ask who to call to get rid of a rattler. Silly me!!! After spending so many years living in Alaska I am not used to looking for snakes, but, believe me that has changed. I had been standing almost on top of him and didn't even see him, nor him me. Not sure who would have been the most scared. Anyway, the proper procedure is to call the fire dept. and they will come get them. Stay tuned for more in the life of,
The Desert Rat
