What's Happening!

I house-sit for a lady that I used to work with several times a year. We had last Friday off from school and her daughter had a doctor's appointment in Miami and then they were going to Naples for the weekend, so she asked me to stay at her place and watch their two boys, Lucky and Boots. I had a bit of a scare on Saturday. I was sitting at the table by the sliding glass door working on one of my accounting lessons. Boots was resting in his crate and Lucky was on the couch and started barking. I figured that he had seen a lizard on the porch and asked him what was wrong. I had left the sliding glass door open wide enough that the dogs could go out on the porch if they wanted and when I looked down at what Lucky was barking at, I saw a snake. It was inside the house, against the sliding glass door. It was 2 to 2 1/2 feet long and probably about 1/2 inch thick. Lucky kept barking at it and I told him to get it, but he just sat there and barked. It finally turned around and went back outside and I immediately shut the door. Lucky got down then and sniffed where the snake had been. Needless to say I kept the door tightly shut after that! I didn't see the snake again after that either, so maybe Lucky scared it good, too!
