Tucker Vs. Gopher Snake

We have lots of wildlife here in San Diego and some we love, the cotton-tail bunnies, and some we hate, SNAKES! Well, last week we saw both in our little courtyard. A mother bunny had made a den for her little babies under the fountain and a snake had found them while she was away. The mom was actually trying to fight off this nasty thing but she came out every time with more bites and eventually left. I wasn't going to let that snake get to the rest of those sweet bunnies so what do I do? I call for Tucker! Hundreds of hours watching the Discovery Channel was bound to pay off someday and here it was! Tucker watched the snake eat one of the bunnies and so he grabbed the golf club and dragged it out to catch it, put it in a bag and got rid of it. Sorry to all of those PETA members out there, but there is no way I was going to let him go when it knew where those bunnies were!

Yeah for Tucker! How scary Alysha! You did the right thing calling for your man....And way to go Tucker for getting that mean snake away from the bunnies! I can't believe you had a snake that HUGE! I don't think I have ever seen one of that caliber outside in the residential neighborhood!? How crazy!

Holy cow! I don't know if I could handle that snake in my yard whether there are bunnies or not! That would scare me. Nice job Tucker!
