Got the ole ticker pumping this evening.
The wife wanted to get out of Houston since nothing is going on so we came up to the ranch today to enjoy some peace and quiet and possibly try to put an axis in the freezer. After an uneventful hunt this evening i get back to the cabin and take a shower and by this time it has gotten dark out. On the way to the ranch i picked up a bottle of Codigo anejo and was looking forward to trying it tonight. After i get cleaned up i ask my wife who is six months pregnant if she would like to go sit on the porch and enjoy the full moon. Well we get all set up and we both are kicked back in a couple chairs with our feet up on the hand rail and my chocolate lab comes strolling by sniffing away and she goes right under my legs and i can tell something is up as soon as she gets close to my wife the dog flinches and basically falls backwards. Now she has been through snake avoidance training multiple times and that is the only time i have seen her do that is when we have been to the refresher classes. I immediately knew what was up but didn’t want to freak my wife out since the snake was under the hand rail her feet were on. I told her to keep her legs in the air and i was gonna pull her chair back. Once i get her at safe distance i ask her to turn the light on her phone on and next thing i know drinks are flying and she’s *** and elbows back in the house. I hurry in grab my gun and go back out and make sure quick work of our unwelcome rattle snake guest. To say i am grateful to my lab tonight is an understatement but my wife hasn’t let go of her and keeps giving her treats and kisses for saving our future baby boy. So far since this incident she has received chicken fajitas, cheese and a hot dog.
So much for our peace and quiet tonight.
What are some of yalls close calls?
