So my wife calls me while I'm at work yesterday and I could immediately tell from the sound of her voice that something was not right. She sounded excited and she NEVER sound excited on the phone. I ask her what is up and she proceeds to tell me that Goose (7 yr old daughter) took the dog outside and stepped off the porch and started screaming and ran back towards the door. In between screams my wife said she heard a buzzing noise. She runs to meet Goose at the door and she sees a 4 foot timber rattler fully coiled and buzzing away. Apparently someone was watching out for my daughter because looking at the foot prints in the dirt and where they said the snake was she couldn't have been further than 18 inches from him.
After about 10 minutes I convinced Goose that it was safe to get out of the chair and walk around in the house.
Hope that she isn't scarred for life about snakes. She still said today that she will never go outside by herself again.
Just thankful it went the way it did. Could have been real serious real fast.
Keep your eyes peeled.
