This snake looks like it swallowed a dozen eggs. Bumpy. Susan spotted it by the side of the path when we were walking at Phipps a couple of weeks ago. Probably a gray rat snake, she said. It didn't move, & neither did Zing! We proceeded hastily past, as I kept the dog on a short leash. A couple of days afterward, I was chatting with a city parks employee who said learning about snakes is the best way to lose your fear of them. Stephanie, who now works at PetSmart, said she's heard of two dogs dying recently from snake bite.
