And you're still alive to tell the tale???My husband and I were walking down deer trails with our Danes a few years back...we were pretty deep in to a wooded area, near a nice lake...the weather was great...dogs were roaming around...
We stopped for a break, my husband sat on a downed tree and just as I approached the log, I noticed a snake curled up on the log having an afternoon nap. My husband has two HUGE fears: snakes and needles...I am not afraid of either, so I don't freak out when I see them...I casually walked up to my husband and just pointed my finger at the snake sitting just a foot or so from him. He jumped up so fast he nearly fell, and the sheer terror he exhibited was enough to prove that he was truly terrified of snakes.
Once I stopped laughing and he regained composure, we rounded up the dogs and started walking again. We came across another snake on the deer trail...we ran past it and we headed on back in the direction of the car...I had a dog leash in my hand, and after a few minutes of him calming down and no snake sightings, I ever-so-gingerly let the leash brush the back of his leg (he was wearing shorts)...I think he could have jumped 10 feet in the air...he was certain a snake had just attacked him!
He wasn't happy with my antics at all, but I'm sure I pulled the same prank on him at least 4 more times before we saw my car...I was nearly in tears! :tounge: It caught him off guard each and every time...
