The Snapper Delux!

Guess where I was today? That's right! The bogs! We were coming around the third bog area when what do I spy with my little eye? This dude gal-umping across the path from the smaller murky (and now slightly creepy) little pond under the trees by the entrance.



I have spotted him in the pond opposite of where Jimmy kills and Tabbie swims but apparently he gets around. I saw him and grabbed Jim because that is a sure fire vet visit. After trapping the dogs in the car, I went back where my mom was yelling to grab a stick and lets see if we can get him to bite through it. I was so in. Lucky you, I also grabbed my phone.

Side Note: No seriously, I have been keeping my camera in my car. The fucking day I take it out, I get what would have been a fantastic shot of this guy. I shit you not. I'm not amazed anymore. But still.

I tried and tried to get him to bite through the stick but the best I could get out of him was a very menacing stance and long drawn out pissed off hiss by poking him gently in his tender underside. He wasn't about to bite the stick but when you think about it, I bet he knows what a stick is. He was probably hoping I'd try rubbing his underbelly with my hand. Then I bet he would have tried breaking something. What a guy.
