The tree behind the dogs on their right is a longleaf four years old; the rest are loblolly five years old.

Raccoon growling at the dogs that treed it.

About 80 feet up, with the dogs trying to climb up to get it; you can’t really hear it growling in the video, but you can see its tail thrashing.

About 80 feet up If dogs could climb

If Brown Dog and Yellow Dog could climb…

The dogs barked up a storm while I was picking okra, and by the time I got there the snake was in sad shape. Too bad, as I keep explaining to Brown Dog and Yellow Dog, snakes eat mice.

A snakey present from the dogs:

I like snakes: they eat rodents, and I’m allergic to rodents. But the dogs don’t like snakes that trespass on their area near the house. They left this one in the middle of the walkway from the house to the carport. You see it in the truck on the way to somewhere else.

I think Yellow Dog is nostalgic for her YouTube hit, Black Snake vs. Yellow Dog. They look mild-mannered, Yellow Dog and Brown Dog, but so far a beaver, a raccoon, several rattlesnakes, and two kinds of water moccassins have found tangling with the dogs is not a good idea.

Although that copperhead did give Yellow Dog a bit of a hangover. Here Yellow Dog thanks you for your concern.
