The nicest snake in Rancho Palos Verdes

You always have to be on the lookout for snakes while walking through the brush that dots t snake.JPGhe South Bay -- especially on hot days like today. They like to sun themselves on open pathways.

But snakes are quiet, sneaky and low to the ground. They're not always  easy to spot.

So this morning, me and the idiot dog were walking out on the trails in RPV when I looked down and noticed that Rocket was STANDING ON A SNAKE! He was standing right on top of its little snake body.

I yanked him hard and beat a hasty retreat into the other direction. The snake and the dog never seemed to notice each other.

Thank you Mr. Snake for not biting my dog. I owe you one.

About the Bloggers

Daily Breeze reporter Donna Littlejohn has shared her homes with a succession of wonderful, funny, and occasionally difficult canines -- Muffin, Fritz, Ellie, Mercy, Pilgrim and now Cowboy, an Australian shepherd-border collie, and Tess, a border collie. From strong-willed terriers to weirdly obsessed Australian shepherds, they've invaded her world with boundless energy, wet noses, muddy paws and soggy tennis balls. But they've really brought so much more than that -- like laughter and joy, some unexpected life lessons, and more than a few tears along the way.
