Timber Rattler - One snake down Click title to see 1 more pictures Okay, So we are installing the septic tank and line for the Earth shelter house.  I asked Adam to run an extension cord down so I could cut the PVC pipe.  The cord, when stretched to the area we were working, went under the corner of a pile of Hardi-Panel that was left over from the siding on the barn and the house.

A Goose and her Goslings - First time I have seen this in the wild.

Click title to see 22 more pictures Easily, the most impressive part of the museum was the Reptile Zoo.  I have been to many museums, zoos and exhibits, but this exceeds any I have ever seen.  There are over 50 terraria housing about 200 animals.  These exhibits are designed so well that you can come within inches of the specimens and study every detail of movement, markings and more

Even George loved the place Our Cocker Spaniel George loved the place.  It was his first trip longer than 3 hours.  This is, of course, 12 hours. Once he got out of the car, he did not stop going for 2 1/2 days.  His little nub of a tail wagged as fast as it could and he sniffed every tree and leaf he could find. On

Victor - Our New Cat Click title to see 2 more pictures Macavity died in a freek accident one night.  We are not really sure what happened, it appeared he fell behind something and got hurt some how.

Our Pupies - George and Ringo and Mandy Click title to see 3 more pictures We have had three cocker spaniels.  Mandy was the first and by far the most intelligent.  She disappeared on October 5, 1999.  It was a terrible loss for us both.
