A grim night. We had to kill something.

I think most of you reading this will think I'm crazy, being sorry for having to kill a snake. But Randi and I hate to kill anything. I made Randi do it, and she cried the whole time, and I cried after. We felt so bad for the poor thing.

But it was a copperhead, in Rosa's stall. In fact, if Randi hadn't seen it, I would have stepped right on it when I was feeding. We didn't have a choice. It could have killed one of our horses or one of our dogs. So we had to do it.

I'm awfully sorry for the poor thing. But I still can't regret it. My roomie's a bit of a hero - she saved me from a trip to the emergency room, and maybe worse. And she saved Rose, too.

I don't think you're crazy. When it comes to animals and other critters, you're very much like Dan and I. You have the utmost love and respect for them. I can only imagine how upsetting it must have been to kill that snake but, considering the situation, your actions were well and truly justified. Don't beat yourself up about it, sweetheart.
