Usually, when the dogs start barking in the house it’s because the doorbell rang or because they’re being teased by one of the neighbour’s cats.  Today, much to our delight, they were somewhat bemused by the arrival of Sally the snake (our friendly grass snake) who’d popped in to eat her prey in a quiet corner.

Here she is with the frog in her grip, and then having swallowed the poor gelatinous mite some 90 seconds later.  She really is beautiful up close!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

We were even more delighted when we looked up the meaning of a snake entering your house.  We discover this means that good fortune and transformation is on the way.  Thank you universe – we welcome in the new with open arms!
