He texts me back and asked what kind of snake it was and of course, I have no idea. I text my husband to help me figure out my heroic plan. My fear has heightened now, and I’m convinced it’s my job to save the entire apartment complex. All I know is my husband grew up in the south and he is not a big fan of the snake section in zoos. It was a snake!įor the little I know about alligators, I know less about snakes. I notice it’s not an alligator at all, which I should have guessed because the bush was maybe 3 feet big. I go back to the stairs landing and look into the bush. I put the dog in the apartment because at this point I’m convinced only one of us needs to be eaten. Once you get up half the stairs there was a look out over the bush. For the record, that was no small feat since she is 90 pounds. I screamed, picked up my dog, ran past the bush and up the stairs. I’d like to say I calmly walked backwards with my dog and went to ask someone if they could help me investigate. So when I saw something move a bush, I was convinced it was an alligator ready to eat me. We lived on a lake and my husband had told me numerous times that anywhere there is water in Florida there could be alligators. Now you should know I’m terrified of Alligators, I don’t fully understand anything about them, but I know you need to watch out for them. This is her time and she will take all the time she needs.Īnyways, after we finished the ten-year smelling adventure through the area, we approached the staircase and I noticed something in the bushes. Sometimes I just want to say “these are the same smells as yesterday and will be the same smells as tomorrow.
Let me correct that, she needs to smell everything we come into a 6-mile radius of. Since she is a hound she needs to smell every damn thing that we walk past. I take my dog for a walk and we are gone for quite some time. Ok, enough scene setting, let’s get back to the terrifying snake. In the complex we lived in, there were eight apartments in each section with two outdoor staircases for both sections. I loved this because it made me feel like I was on a tv show super cool and fancy. Since they don’t have to worry about snowy winter, most open right to the outside. Apartments are contained inside a building.
For example, in Canada when you enter into a building, it’s through one door and you use stairs or an elevator to go up to the floor, down a hallway into your apartment. Since I grew up in Canada, and we have winter, our apartment buildings work differently than many do in Florida.
My husband was at work and I had been walking the dog. The first time I saw a snake outside our apartment I almost lost my mind. My husband is from the south and there were certain things about living in the south he didn’t to warm me because he grew up there. It’s a fish out of water type story and now I can look back upon it and laugh. I thought I would tell you guys a funny story today about when I first moved to Florida.
