Ohhhh man, my stomach is doing flip flops.
Ewwwwww, I am soooo NOT a rattlesnake fan. I had way, way, wayyyyyy too many very close encounters with them when we lived in CA. Under my son's bike, almost under another son's foot (
), inside our door thresh holds with their heads sticking out ready to strike our feet, on the sidewalk beside my then 3 y/o son, in our garage, anywhere outside on the lawn...it goes on & on. But even as much as I passionately dislike the blasted things, the idea of a pg one getting hit and giving birth prematurely and all of them dying makes me sad. Gosh, I can't make up my mind, can I?
I'm sorry for her & her babies and I'm really sorry that you had to see that.
Sad all around....
