Square Dog Friday with thehamish

Spring is here in fact it is zooming towards summer fast.
With all the plants blooming, critters running around,
spring happiness. But then there are the Rattlesnakes !
Oh My Goodness the Rattlesnakes.
After hibernating all winter when the Mum and babies come out they are crazy and hungry.
The babies snap at anything and the venom is strong.
It is boots on the feet season, big time !
.
But as you know this is the best day of the week

So let's hear from thehamish take on rattlesnakes.

Quick update.....
Lots of earthquakes in Japan right now.
My family is noth from Kyushu and are fine.
But they have friend in the Kyushu area and are concerned. 
There is also a semi-active volcano there.
There have been many pre-quakes and a much bigger one plus after quakes.
Early this morning there was a 7.3  quake with more smaller quakes and rain.
There friend have not been able to sleep so many quakes they just keep coming.
My children were raised in Laguna Beach California with lots of earthquakes 
and a perfect ocean bed for a tsunami.
I will post more on this tomorrow.

Smile today and count the good times.
cheers,  gayle and thehamish

  1. Hi, dear Gayle!

    It's a gud thing basil is a gud snake and thehamish's buddy or else he'd be pushing up daisies by now. I hope thehamish knows the difference between his toy pal and a real rattler. As I told you before, Mrs. Shady and I traveled through your region in 2014 on the way to San Diego and back. At every rest stop along the way there were signs warning of scorpions and poisonous snakes.

    I have been reading about the quakes in Japan and I pray that all of your family members and their friends are AOK and remain out of harm's way.

    Have a great weekend, dear friend Gayle!

    1. thehamish is a fighter like all gud scotties.
      When I first moved in Watson and thehamish doubled teamed a coyote. He was on the other side of the fence, open iron fence, but coyotes can jump any fence. He looked very surprised to see 2 of them. I looked at The Boys and then looked up again he was gone. But rattlesnakes a big no.

  2. OMG the Hamish and the rattlesnake is just what I needed.
    This 2nd quake was quite a bit bigger and my daughter said it felt much worse. Turns out she's only about 100km or 63 miles from where they hit. I'll be a lot happier when things settle down over there.

    1. He is very funny gud dug.
      Bad stuff happens no matter where you live.
      We were almost overtaken by a wildfire in Laguna Beach, when my home was burned down. In fact I told oldest son to grab the little ones and run into the ocean if the fire caught us.
      Son has lived through some big shakers in California, New Zealand and Japan, In reality things never really settle down. they are on The Ring of Fire.
      You just have to have faith all is fine.

  3. I hope Ham has boots too. My weenies would try and attack the snakes with me screaming like a banshee. I'm not scared of snakes thank goodness. Those earthquakes sound really bad and in the rain. Terrible. Hope all are well.

    1. I have a snake fence on the open part of the iron fence. Snakes can climb them but they really don't want to so it is a good barrier.
      Son said the friends are not getting much sleep the aftershocks just keep coming.

    Hope Hamish's friend Basil will protect him from the real thing.

  7. Hamish is so cute playing with his snake! I'm glad we don't have a lot of rattlesnakes where we are!

    And I thought of your family when I heard about the earthquakes. I'm glad they're all right but so sorry for the people injured and killed.

    Good on Hamish showing who's the boss.

  9. Well, there are good snakes, like Basil, and then there are not-so-good rattlesnakes!

    Hope Hamish takes advantage of that offer for free chicken strips! Happy Square Dog Friday!

  12. It sounds terrifying. I hope they find their friend. I heard that many people are sleeping outside because they feel it is safer, despite the rain.
