Doodle....Scream....Panic Attack!!

[Tina, Clover, Plus 5 More]

Some traits a dog passes on to another can be endearing and then there's some .......................

 

Living in the country in Iowa you can expect to see a snake or two, usually a bull or garter snake and we have more than I care too.  I am scared to death of snakes, but have gotten used to the fact we coexist here on the farm.  Some of you probably already know where this is going and for the rest I will explain.

Clover decided to bring me a gift, yes I said gift, not 1, not 2, but 3SNAKES, all at once.  I thought I was going to have a ....... heart attack. 

Now this is something I expect to happen with Apollo.  Apollo learned this from Weiner, which was taught how to do this by my sweet boy Woody.  Woody loved to hunt snakes and I blame this on myself.  When he was 6 months old, Woody caught one and being so proud of himself, decided to bring it to me.  The thing is he didn't just drop it at my feet.  Woody was doing the head shake, let go and it hit me right in the chest.  Of course I screamed because I thought I was DYING from heart failure.  So naturally Woody thought it was a good thing just look how excited mom is.  When Woody taught Weiner and Weiner taught Apollo, it wasn't enough for them to just show each other how to catch a snake.  They actually taught each other it was more fun to toss them at mom.  Over the years I have gotten very, very good at dodging them.

So yesterday when I saw Apollo coming at me being the first one of the year I knew.  Apollo throw it, I moved to the side, turned around and there was Clover.  Not realizing Clover was there, because I was to worried about Apollo, I was caught off gaurd.  When Clover let go, one hit me in the stomach, one on the leg and the other I don't know where it landed.  It took me more than 30 minutes to stop shaking.  I was so drenched in sweat or maybe I peed my pants.  No I didn't pee, but probably could have.

If Clover and Apollo are going to tag team me.  What am I going to do?  I know I need to lose a few pounds, but running from the dogs is not how I would like to get my exercise. 

Does your doodle or dog bring you things that make you scream?
