Kacee had her first encounter with a rattlesnake this evening and I hope it will be her last. We were walking down the road, which is paved, and I noticed Kacee had walked over to look at something on the road. She's always checking out everything on the road, whether it's a stick or a blade of grass! Well I noticed she jumped back from it. I couldn't see anything, since the sun had already set. So I walked over and looked and there was this tiny rattlesnake no bigger than a pencil (if it was that big) and it was coiled and its tail was shaking just like the more mature version would do. There I was checking out her little nose just to make sure nothing happened. Since she didn't yelp or anything, I assume he didn't touch her. So, I guess I'll have to keep my eyes open even more than I have been.
