And besides, Roxie already knows him as Smokey. Whenever we say the name Smokey, Roxie goes and looks in the kennel. It's so cute.
Wally's not a bad name. :) Called Waldo that a lot. Congrats on the new addition and the winning ticket.Quote:

For some unknown reason Rosie cat and her entire family was on our trailer and I was able to take a photo. This is a rare occasion, since 3 of the group hate each other. There is usually alot of growling, hissing and slapping whenever they are around each other. (sounds like people families). If you remember, Rosie is the cat who had several buns in the oven or should I say a pan of muffins, when my Duke (RIP) brought her home. The Vet figured that it was her first litter, so she is around 8 or 9 yrs., that would make her kittens/cats 7 yrs. Queen Rosie is the tabby. You can tell by the looks on their faces the ones that don't get along.:)
You know how you look a something everyday and don't really pay much attention and then one day it looks different... that happened to me as I was cooking supper....
I can see this wasp nest from my kitchen window, it is attached to the wall under the overhang of our porch and usually swarming with wasp. On this afternoon, the wasp nest looked different. I kept looking at the nest trying to figure it out, and the nest started moving (no I hadn't any wine).:whistle The more I looked, the clearer the object became. It was a small chicken/rat snake that somehow climbed the wall and wrapped itself around the wasp nest and was eating the wasp larva. I took a picture... I knew no one would believe me, including Mr. ING. By the time I had convinced him to come look..."Well I'll be..." and he went outside, the snake was gone. He figured it got full and dropped down it the shrubs.... :shrug
So much for that can of wasp spray.:D
:eek Why didn't it get stung to death? That is really weird.
I don't know. I'm puzzled by that myself. There had been wasp around it the day before, so I don't know if it caught them an ate them, or what happened.
That is why I took a picture, it was just too strange.
Between the wasps and the snakes, my skin is absolutely crawling!!! :omg Somebody would have to DO SOMETHING!!!
That is awesome, inthegarden!
But I hunt wasp nests and kill them (if they're on the house, deck, vehicles, stuff in the yard).
A few years ago I got stung twice by wasps, not fun. And then a couple years later, I got chased down by what I think were killer bees. I slammed a gate hard, and disturbed their nest (unknowingly). They chased me for 50 feet, and I got stung 7 times. I'm surprised the adrenaline and exertion didn't kill me. Luckily I am not allergic to stings.
I figure they have lots more places to nest than in my territory. :)
Just guessing, but I think the wasps probably did sting the snake, but the scales would protect it unless a stinger went under the scale and into the skin, which would be unlikely. Remember snakes even have a transparent scale covering their eyes. I wish I could see the head to see what kind of snake it is. I think it might be a hognose, because the wasp larvae are something it would eat. If it is, that's about as big as they get if i'm judging right by this picture.Quote:
