I have been known to fight for a snake's life with Shark, my too-well-fed cat.

Snake pops up out of dead leaf pile. Grandchildren scream. Grandma picks up snake, a garter, not a python. Puts snake on her lap, begins singing a "snakey song". Everyone's in line, wanting the next turn. All fear gone.

Line, if I had a dull moment it was because God took me out and flattened me, which has to happen.
