SNAKE!

LC: Yikes, there was a snake in our yard when we went out early light. I knew there was something wrong from inside the cave, but I didn't know exactly what it is. We don't see many snakies.

I ran straight for it. I coudnt see it from in the cave, but I could smell it an followed my nose. The Big Thing could see I was really after something, so he ran out after me. When he saw I was jumping on a snakie, he grabbed me away from it (that was a surprise) until he could check it out.

He says most snakies are harmless and helpful, but you have to make sure. Well, OK, but I don't like any strange things in MY yard. And this was apparently a harmless snakie (to us). He says it eats micies. I don't want somethin in my yard that eats MY mices! So when he let go of me (and I was pawing and squirmin a lot), I jumped it until it left the yard! I'm brave! Nothin gets our mousies but me and Skeeter, ya know?

The Big Thing says I am gonna meet a nasty snakie some day if I'm not careful (but he admits that the snakies that like our yard aren't likely to be the nasty snakies. But I notice that The Big Thing put his heavy paw covers on. So maybe I better be a LITTLE careful.

I bit its behind parts (it tasted bad) before it left. So there! I am lord of the back yard and woe to any things that come into it (except Skeeter and The Big Thing, of course).

The Big Thing ran in the cave to get the camera thingie, but I had chased it away before that.

Google Searching

We saw on Ayla The Grump's blog http://aylathegrump.blogspot.com/ that she searched for "stinky goodness" an found her own blog at the top of the list. That is so cool. We call it "wet smelly good stuff", so we decided to search that.

Wow, we were #2 on Google and #1 on Netscape! We have been walkin around all morning with our tails held high. The Big Thing says we are bein too proud cause we made up the phrase ourselfs anyway and "who else would use it?". Still, after we got tired of struttin around, we decided to go nap on the very best spots in the cave (when The Big Thing isn't sleeping), the new blue sheets in the guest room.

We promise to be to normal tomorrow, though! ;)
