Sometimes, I allow the cats access to the fenced in back yard. I sit out there with them. One day, I noticed Dakota acting a little too interested in what appeared to be the grass. Upon closer inspection, I noticed that he had captured a small little snake. UGH! As much as I dislike snakes, I couldn't let this little baby snake get harmed. I was forced to get Dakky to release it, and finally he did. UGH!!! How gross. The thing slithered away, and so did my feelings of nausea.
