During rainy season the area by one of our outside walls would flood just a bit and create a marsh land and there would be snails that would take up residence there - along with croaking frogs, but I never saw those only heard them. The snails were usually pretty small - say golf ball sized or slightly bigger. The picture shows what I think is the King Snail. He is about the size of two of my hands put together. This picture just does not give its size justice. I wonder about whether the animals here are mutant or alien because the things that I see are just not normal.

I feared for King Snails life one day when I noticed Psycho Doberman was watching him. He was moving at a pretty good speed for a snail and the movement must have attracted the Dobie. She just was watching him, following him with her nose. Then she touched her tose to him and he fell off the wall! Luckily for him he landed in tall grass or the Dobie would have had escargot for dinner!

	AblesSue发表: I'm seriously considering staying over at blogspot. It is so much easier without the glitches and slowness. But the Spaces will stay too for now. I haven't decided. I just haven't had time to post on both. It's difficult re-training people to go to a different place. We'll see. Maybe MSN will do something magical! : ) Sue 9 月 1 日

	RowleySandy发表: I have finally caught up with myself and have started making my rounds. I have a Miniature Pincher that loves to eat spiders. He is Evil-Angels hero since she is terrified of spiders. She just yells, “Dobby, spider!” Problem solved. Raven 8 月 30 日

	Yvonne发表: Okay, that snail... it could be seriously cute... if it were the size of a penny! But I can't even imagine a snail that big... ewww, ewww, double triple ewwww!! I am so with you on the shaking thing... it puts me right on edge as well. It's downright maddening! Hey... have you ever been talking to someone, and while you're taking to them, they are mouthing your words...? Strange. Right up there with knee-quivering! Sorry it took me so long to take a peek at your space... nice place you have here, I've had fun reading your entries. Hope the wrinkles get ironed out with your friend... I'm not sure how I would react if I were in your situation, but I think I would have said something like "Whaaa???". Hope you are enjoying a beautiful day! (I never did get that song to you, but if I see you on msn sometime, I'd be happy to oblige). =D 8 月 29 日

	RogersCindy发表: Holy cow! Things in Texas are supposed to be big, but we don't have no stinking snails THAT big! I would hate to think what stepping on one of those suckers would be like. HUGE CRUNCH!! 8 月 29 日
	MizAngie发表: YECH. That is one big-assed snail. Is that really the kind that can be eaten? All I have around my house are slugs. I've had escargot before but I could go the rest of my life without having it again. Not a fave. That's funny about you and the shaking. Smacking is what gets me. People smacking their food or gum drives me up the frickin' wall. 8 月 28 日
