Sometimes I ......

I wanna go be a pirate on the SEA SHEPHERD.My Scorpio moon wants me to.My Pisces rising wants me to.My Capricorn sun sez I am nuts.Two out of three aint bad.

it happened like this. I swear.

When I heard her barking,I thought she was barking at the fawn living between here and the grinding holes.I went out ready to tell her to shut up when I realized there was a huge rattle snake in the bush and it was not happy.I immediately checked her, put her away and went to get dressed..Those snakes almost always show up when I am naked.I wonder what that is about? So I try and fail at catching it... and it is near the shed which I do not want him going underso I call my neighbor Rich who loves killing them.He comes over and sadly shoots it.It was huge.Ok, I recover..its the second one in five weeks.When I however found another one on Wed.morning where Oberon and Razzle were JUST playing, I just get fed up....I catch it,put it in the garbage can..It sits there for two days because I am not sure what to do with it.I am sick of saving the bastards..
So today on my way to town,I have snake in can in truck when I pull in to "the animal control office" and step inside.The women at the counter saw me and asked if they could help me...( I think to myself how sorry they were going to be for asking me that) I say yea, I got this snake ... I dont want to kill it and want them to take it.They step back quick as if I had it there.. and say they dont do snakes.I say but... but... but... you gotta.I say go get a cop ( its run by the sheriffs dept)..so they go get this cuter then hell little cop..He comes out, looks at me annd sez
'Why are you bringing me a rattler? I hate snakes" I look him up and down very slowly as he was delightful to take in.. and say
" cuz you're the man baby, you are the man"."You got the gun,the badge, the stripes." He tells me he cant shoot a thing.
Finally we agree he will take the snake due to me being overwhelmed with three in six weeks.
I leave, telling him what a sucker he is.He tells me to come back and get the garbage can.
I go back after my town trip and walk in with a chocolate cheese cake and a lb of strawberries.I see that cute little cop and tell him if I had a lover or husband who got rid of the snake for me, I would give him chocolate and strawberries.His face almost fell off.He was so flattered.Offered to help me with any snake problem I had....He will remember that for a while.It was really delicious fun.
