Things that go BUMP in the night

I would like to start this blog off my admitting I'm a blog slacker and don't blog nearly as much as I intend too! That Said...

 Wednesday marked one month that Sonny and I have spent every night for a month together(If you don't count the two nights he spent at the gulf). This is the first time we have ever spend this much time together and it has been wonderful.

That said this is how our last night together went. I was watching television in the living room about half asleep when Sonny started calling me from our bathroom. To take you back a few days the Sunday prior I smelt the most awful smell in the the same bathroom. I searched high and low but could never trace the smell.

I entered the bathroom and Sonny shhhh me and told me to listen. What did I hear? What sounded like a person moving around in the attic. We went up to determine what is was very certain something was going to jump up at Sonny hissing and showing its teeth.

Sonny took his flash light and I stood on the ladder and watched. He couldn't find anything but we could see trails everywhere. I was certain it had to be a raccoons. We frequently watch Billy the exterminator so I knew it was a raccoon or squirrels.

I went back down to the bathroom and started making noise to try to startle it. When that didn't work Sonny took a fishing pole to try to poke it out. This continued for about 15 minutes while I stood in the bathroom and informed him when it was moving. This mysterious creature.

After awhile Sonny said to me "I see it and your not going to want to know what it is" at that point he didn't have to tell me I knew exactly what it was. The one thing I truly fear. The one thing I'm so afraid is going to bite me or the puppies.

"It is a snake!" He informed me "I can't see it's head to tell if it is poisonous!" " It is two snakes" at this point I'm freaking out convince it is going to bite him. Mean while he is  beating it to death with his finishing pole.

He brings the snake out and insist I come out to see it. When it started to wiggle and he insisted it was just nerves. I firmly ask him to get the snake out of my site and out of my house so he placed it on the back of his truck.

That would be the end of the story but he called me at lunch the next day to inform me when he went to throw the snake out at work IT WAS ALIVE. I guess he just knocked it unconscious. If you see a snake and it appears to have a TBI you know why!
