It's still warm out there

[Allen in MT]

With the temp still in the 80's, the critters are still out there. The guy next to us here at the park went out side yesterday morning and a few feet from the door just about stepped on a coontail which he took care of in short order. It was about 4' long and had 7 rattles. Guess I will have to put my hearing aids in before stepping out. When out in the brush it's the dog I worry about. A friend of mine a couple years back his Husky was bit on the side of the head and it wasn't a pretty site for a couple of weeks but he survived.

Yup the diamond backs are out here in southern AZ along with the scorpions.

Be careful buddy, when we are out hiking, I have to rely on Sue's hearing for the snakes.
