Sir Hiss

We had the privilege of studying one of God's smaller creatures for the past few days.  At work on Thursday, Dave D caught a garter snake which Brian delivered to us in an empty Tim Hortons cup, lid firmly closed.  This little guy became our pet until today.  Chelsie was excited to bring him to preschool to show her friends.  We researched his habitat needs, food needs (small worms),

and enjoyed (mostly) watching him for several days.  As Chelsie aptly put it, "Sir Hiss makes Mommy a little nervous."  (It was more his acrobatics up the side of his container that made me nervous.) 

 This afternoon we set him free, as we all agreed he would live more happily in the backyard than in his small sour key container.  Enjoy the pictures.
