Arizona is NOT walker friendly when spring comes along. Rattlers like anywhere there is a warm, sunny spot this time of year...particularly trails and around rocks. Wear boots and long pants and watch your feet. They also like to nestle under greasewood bushes during the sunny part of the spring day.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5444152614012496655.post-60091737454980000342012-03-10T08:54:02.064-05:002012-03-10T08:54:02.064-05:00Rattlers are my main concern & fear for our tw...Rattlers are my main concern & fear for our two dogs.

You're right, they blend so well Jim walked right past one which I then almost stepped on.

I caught up with them, got a little ahead, and that's when it happened -- a rattler right ahead of us. Fortunately, our kids were well trained, as I yelled "Freeze" and they did. We watched the snake for a while (as you did yours) then went a different way, a little more carefully than before!Jerry and Suzyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01381487159402842587noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5444152614012496655.post-27914005210271563622012-03-09T09:18:17.546-05:002012-03-09T09:18:17.546-05:00Well, well we were just talking about rattlers.
