I'm pretty sure I've posted something like this before because this isn't the first time she's done something like this but I thought you guys might get a chuckle out of it.
So I let Stella and Tank out to go potty the other day, it was afternoon and quite warm and the sun was out. I meandered around the patio looking at the plants while waiting for the dogs to do their thing. Stella stops at the corner of the patio and sort of pounced on something (she pounces with both front paws and her butt in the air, just like a cat!). Then she took a foot and had something trapped (couldn't see what it was because the weeds were tall at that section) and was kind of sniffing and then would back away and then smack her paw down on it again. I though "Oh gross, it's a toad" So I yelled at her and said "Leave it!" which she did for a second and then started smacking and pawing in the weeds again. In my head I was going Shes gonna come out with a mouthful of half dead toad and she's gonna chase me with it because of course she will be so happy and want to show me what a good hunter she is! So I got on my serious voice and yelled at her again "Leave it!!!" She comes over to me and out from the patch of weeds slithers this long nasty garden snake. I hate wild snakes with a passion! It slithered onto the gravel and just stopped and watched it. I'm not ashamed to admit that I tried to kill it by throwing a cement brick at it and running for my life. I know they aren't poisonous but I am a wuss and I would rather not have it around. I apologize if I have saddened any snake lovers with my attempted garden snake assassination but it got away unharmed as I am a terrible shot
Stella was totally pleased with herself for her great find and now she checks that spot of the patio everytime we go outside. Eww yuck ewww!
