Playing with snakes

Hide and seek in the office
Rough housing with Jen while Lucy keeps a close eye on the action
Even a bag of trash can provide 30 minutes of funFirst romp in the lake at George Bush Park
Scout and Cha-Chi mix it up at the lake
Red next to yellow will kill a fellow, red next to black is a friend of Jack (and Scout). Scout was curious about the snake until it coiled up and struck at him. Then he really got excited. This one is a broad banded water snake and is not poisonious...whew!
Starting to smell like a dog so it is bath time again. He played in the water this time.
