So this happened…

After a particularly eventful morning dealing with someone else’s circus, I had finally decided to relax.

Sitting on my back porch, enjoying the breeze.

Then I heard a noise behind me.

I turned, and there was Freeloader trying to go after something.

Oh, hell. Is that a snake?!

I jumped up and ran to protect her.

She looked at me like, GIRL, GET BACK! I’M TRYING TO PROTECT YOU!!

This snake was whole-ass upside down, biting itself.

I scrambled to find a stick to turn it over. Looking at its belly, I couldn’t tell what kind it was.

Freeloader was NOT happy about me chasing her away.

The first stick I grabbed broke. So did the second.

I’m sure I looked like a chicken running around with its head cut off.

Finally, the third stick worked!!

Then this poor little creature and I were having a power struggle.

I’d roll him over, and he’d flop right back.

I kept having to chase the cat back.

I figured out the snake wasn’t poisonous, but I still didn’t want her to get bitten.

After about 20 minutes of this, I had to pee.

I didn’t want to go in the house and leave these critters.

So there we were, out in the yard…

MID-TASK, this snake decides to roll over and run. Freeloader takes off after it, and then I have to stop my current task and chase them BOTH!!

COUNTRY LIVING AT ITS BEST!!! 😂🐍🐈
