Of Dogs and Snakes

Earlier this week, Rob informed me that our neighbor's dog was bitten by a cottonmouth water moccasin snake and died. The dog was bitten in his back yard. Next to our back yard. Which means the snake was practically IN OUR BACK YARD!

Oh yeah and by the way, Rob has been finding snake skins in our yard.

And (unbeknownst to me) he has seen alive snakes in our yard too!

Not cool. 

Now I'm not going to lie. I didn't really like the dog next door. It barked All. The. Time. Come to think of it, it has been quieter than normal lately...Sorry. That was mean. I guess if i had to pick between the dog and a snake, I'd pick the dog. But just barely. 

Anyway, back to the snake... Needless to say, I'm not venturing out into our yard until winter.

Snake Dream

Last night, I had the weirdest dream (I blame the Tylenol PM that I took to help me sleep). I dreamt I was trying to catch white snakes and was constantly being bitten by them. This morning, I looked up how the "experts" interpret snake dreams. Not good - malice, betrayal, struggle, anxiety... I've been a little stressed lately, but nothing out of the ordinary. And usually when I'm really anxious about something, I have a recurring dream that all of my teeth are falling out. Do you have any recurring dreams? What do you think they mean?
