It's a beautiful Monday Morning. And (Miracle of Miracles) Jake has the day off! So what do we do? We decided to team up and work on our lawn. He started mowing and I started the weed-whacking and trimming. All was well in the neighborhood until ---SLITHER SLITHER.
A big old snake comes out of the weeds I am whacking. I may or may not have jumped just a little. I ran over and made a scared face at Jake so he would stop mowing. He mostly just laughed when I told him my animated story. We went back over to where the snake had been. Then there were TWO snakes wigglin' around! Jake picked up the weed-wacker - I could see his intention was elimination. Yes, he tried to weed-whack them!!!
( "A WEED-hacker Vern. A weed hacker! --- Over the Hedge) But it came unplugged and they got away while Jake was plugging it back in. Wait.... they came back! Jake nicked one. After that we tried to make sure it died quickly and painlessley. Jake went to get his machete to pick it up and dispose of the little guy -- The other one emerged again. What was Jake to do? He had the machete in his hands - yup, he used the machete. With both of them gone we continued to mow and trim. On the other side of the lawn I ran into a THIRD ONE! What the... how in the... So I did what Jake had done. Monkey see, Monkey do. Can you believe that we exterminated three snakes from our yard with a weed-whacker and a machete? Guh zuh guh!
