We live next to a creek and a trail system so snakes seem to find their way into our back yard quite often and my dog, Zoe, hunts them down and then plays with them.
This snake came into our yard this Sunday morning while reading the paper.
To be clear. the snake was not reading the paper, Zoe was reading, I was rolling around in the grass sunning myself.
Zoe's ears perked up and she headed for the fence sniffing the ground with great enthusiasm. When I heard her turning over the river rocks on the edge of our yard, I signaled to my wife inside to bring me my camera so I could catch the "SnakeKiller" in action.
Zoe does not quite understand that the snakes do not enjoy her playing as much as she does as she tosses them up into the air and tries to catch them. She carried this snake around the yard, playing with it in different places. After a short while, the snake played "possum" and Zoe started to prod it with her paw to get it to play more. The snake was done with the play date and Zoe lost interest, heading off to explore her domain for other intruders.
