On that note...I will be driving in the motorhome to Oklahoma in July...are snacks that common?? I'll have my girls!! I've heard about tarantulas and scorpions already  |
I didn't think they were that common. I thought they avoided people; at least I've never seen one in the wild. We've been out hiking before, and my dad has said stuff like "Hear that noise, I think that's a Rattler." But honestly, I thought it sounded more like an insect. Now I've seen a lot of garner snakes; and actually I'm wondering if maybe some of the ones with black and gray designs weren't garner snakes at all, but something else. . . the green ones I'm pretty sure were garners. Anyway Donald says that that's what the snake looked like one of those black and gray designed garner snakes we see periodically.
When you have your doggies out just make sure it's has well groomed lawns, and people walk around there regularly (I personally always avoided long grass because I had heard stories as a kid of somebody (you know the unspecified 'somebody') stepping on a snake and getting bit before).
We are pretty sure the baby came from the huge field next door. It's just a big area with long grasses, trees, and it's up against a little wooded area; also a little natural creek runs back there and extends past my hubby's shop building. No one ever goes over there; so who knows what's making it's home there.
I was pretty freaked out last night, but now I'm just like, "You know NEVER to pick up a snake." I guess since my son has a pet snake then hubby thinks he's a expert. Or I should say
thought he was an expert.
The nurse said the Dr. would be here by 11a.m. At this point we are just hanging out waiting (thank goodness for HiWi, lol). I really want to lay down on this couch in here, but I'm afraid I'll pass out and will be groggy or asleep when the Dr. comes by, and I really want to talk to him, and also get Donald released.
I just can't believe something like this actually happened; you read about it in the papers, but you just don't expect to ever be the one experiencing something like this. Also, thank goodness for family, when Robert called me from the hospital after 10p last night. Mom came right over, and stayed the night with the kids, and got them off to school. My parents are picking them up for me today, and keeping them the night.
Thank you, everyone, for listening and being so supportive. Ya'll are awesome! Sorry about the huge essay I've written here, lol.
