After dropping the kids off at school this morning, I walked at the track and came home. I got a call from a friend and went outside to talk. I noticed our cat, Minnie (aka Minnie Pearl, Minnie haha, Minerva, Minerva Pearl, and Killer) ran up beside the outdoor sofa where I was sitting and I could tell she was playing with something. I didn't look. I've learned not to look.
I had to run inside for a bit, and when I went back out to the patio, oh oh oh, this is what I saw. I think it was wither almost dead, or stunned from playtime with Minnie. It is a non-venomous garter snake, so I pardoned it. I used a shovel to give it a free flight back to the tall grass beside our house. I'm not really afraid of snakes, but that grossed me out.
