Pond, Dogs, Snake 2023-07-04

What kind of snake is this?

Probably not a moccasin, because it doesn’t have any stripes, and I’ve never seen one leave its tail sticking out like that. Usually a cottonmouth will face you and hiss.

The dogs found another snake earlier that probably was a moccasin, so we made them come along.

We also saw an anhinga on the surface. Usually we see them perched in a tree or flying. It did eventually fly off and perch.

Dig out the dog: Arrow stuck under a storage shed 2023-07-15

We came home after a day on the river and had to dig out the dog.

You can hardly see the little pooch, but you can sure hear her complaining about being stuck under a storage shed.

I got a shovel and dug the opening out more.

She’s fine.

No dogs were harmed in the making of this video.

How she got under there is still a mystery.

She wanted to know what I was going to do about it?

Amusingly, it fell so it was supported like a pyramid by its own limbs.

I brought the tractor and a logging chain and dragged it away. Continue reading →
