Rainy day "visitor"

[BKHpondcritters]

Coming to you from rain-soaked western NC. Been pouring off & on since last night & we've already dumped 5" out of the rain gauge, with another inch or so accumulated! Not to mention, it's not over yet & the worst is yet (predicted) to come! Sigh.

Anyway, earlier this afternoon I had the dogs out in the yard for a 'it's not raining too bad, so let's try to go potty NOW!' moment, when we ran across this little scoundrel:

He's so cute! But, we really, really don't want him taking up residence, so.... I sent Hubby out in the rain this afternoon to relocate the little beastie. He was taken down to the bottom of our property & released (OK, dumped out) near a spring, outside of the dog-perimeter fence.

I'd say "when it rains, it pours" but at this point, I'd rather not reference the storm action.

Is that a baby snapper?

Is that a baby snapper?

Yes! About 5-6" in diameter.

Hoping and praying all you people in that storm zone keep safe! From the tv news it looks like it's getting wild to say the least!

Stay safe -- looks like NC is getting hammered.

@Hound Heaven Yup! Power's out. Still pouring & windy. Almost 11" of rain down so far and we still have a few hours of this to go!

Hang on for dear life! Sorry to hear people have lost their lives
