House pets

Keep an eye on your pets!
I've already warned you before: Keep an eye on your pets, they can be pests at times. A certain French car brand had an ad campaign running in 1993 - 94 titled "Made in Paradise", featuring a quite friendly snake. After they abandoned the ad, one of the likewise abandoned reptiles ended up in my place, living a more or less peaceful retirement. Or so I thought. It's already in the Bible that women and snakes won't get along well - that obiously goes for Teddy Babes as well:

Well, they settled this one, Lian's obviously not easily scared or even surprised.

Now, today, when I got home, Lian was petting and playing with Puschel, our small white bunny. I thought it a good idea to snap some cute pics of my lil' Lady:


"Oh, you're home already? Hi there!" she said, before turning her attention back to the rabbit.



But it seemed like these two in turn did not only catch my attention!



One curious pet peeks around the corner, and I bet it's not just watching, but dreaming of some tender dinner...



"Hey, Lian, watch out! Someone's on the rabbit hunt." - "Sshhh" was all she answered...



Oooh here comes - or goes the rabbit? No, my girl seems to be prepared!



No words needed here - it's all in the picture!



"Now, what did you say again? It's not been the first attempt, you know!" Wow, brave girl.

After recovering, Snaky is on the retreat, barely able to wave the white flag.



And the little'un surprised us all: Moments before prey and dinner, it's now becoming bold or rather suicidal, going after the snake. I bet you could've seen a tongue sticking out!



Well, the bunny went back into its cage, the snake got a plush mouse (or gerbil?) for compensation, and Lian - you know it. Cuddle time.

END of the story. Phew.

Cute! I think that Lian is very brave!

Good to see Lian knows how to take care of things! Ha! Ha! Poor Snakey! Eve should have done that!

Nicely done Lian! But watch out Cuddly, she obviously knows how to take care of unwanted 'Snake Intrusions' You could end up walking funny if you catch her off guard

Snaky's ok again, and after feeding quite agreeable, too.

GRRR. I knew it! I shouldn't have held back that picture feeding the bunny! Wasn't lettuce or even green it munched away on!!!

Poor Scratina... She said she is a mouse because she don't want to be eaten and now there's a snake... She is totaly terrified.

She did, wrong stick....
Okay, i take my coat...

Oh dear, what have you done Cuddly? Now Willow wants a pet rabbit and Nicole wants a pet snake!

Oooh, great. Yeah, Dongo, I see it now.
Short summary: One forum member has to watch out for the rabbit, one pet "mouse" for the snake, while two Teddy Babes want a bunny and a snake for pets. Well, I didn't see that coming...

Now, Karrot, if you ever drop by (the distance, I know...) I promise to double-lock the cage. Scratina, same for you: I'll knot the snake's tail to the table if that helps you...
Willow, Nicole: Are you even allowed to have pets, ready to take care of them etc. etc.? Lian wouldn't part with Puschel, but Snaky... well, there are two or three here who wouldn't miss (him/her?) much...

Another one crossed my mind: That may well be so, but she sure knows how to handle that stick! (rod, wood...)

Clearly a young lady well able to deal with most varieties of legless reptile, pythons, boa constructers, cobras and mambas, no problem. I bet she could even deal a deadly blow to the one eyed trouser snake.

A girl who knows how to drive stick and is not afraid of snakes she's a keeper

Love the way Lian just takes it in her stride, not a flinch but just a bonk on poor Snaky's bonce.

I'm pleased to see that Lian can deal with that slippery customer. I love the smile, it really adds to her character.

First: Thank you, guys, for your replies - we had a good laugh here! Thanks for the compliments, too!
