Look who came to dinner at Don's cousin's (Where Don is staying on this trip)! To quote Don: "This is about a
5 foot diamondback rattlesnake!!!! Right outside the door coming towards the
house. Doug had to shoot it. This was one very deadly, very angry snake! Struck
out at Doug several times!!! This is one thing we don't want around the
house!!" Wow......... We are going to need to learn a LOT about snakes.

Just a quick explanation about why Don's cousin (in-law) thought it was necessary to kill the rattlesnake. The snake was on the front porch (near the front door). Doug tried to shoo it away, first, but it came after him aggressively. At one point, it was hurling itself at him. He thought that, for the sake of his family and dog, killing it humanely was the safest thing to do.
