I was sitting next to Edie, just playing and all the sudden Laya goes crazy. I look back and there's a snake slithering up the porch towards our grill ( in the very foreground of the photo above). It went right behind me and I didn't even know it. Waylon was still in the pool so I grabbed him up and threw him in the screened in porch. Byron jumped into the storage bin(majorly freaking out) and Edie just watches from her lazy-baby chair. Laya ends up chasing the snake around to the other side of the porch (thank goodness) and corners the snake. It was about 2-3ft long and inch wide or so. It looked huge. Laya, our crazy little puppy, kills the thing. One dead snake (the following photo may be slightly graphic and fear inducing for snake fearers)...
It made up for all her carpet hole chewing, window sill chewing, knock over various children and adults crazy behavior. She was the heroine of the afternoon.
Byron and Waylon lavished her with various blankies and sausages for the next 1/2 hour.Aaron thinks it's hilarious that this is such big news around the Pederson household. What can I say, the day to day happenings of a stay at home mom are pretty mundane.
