found a snake falulu and she slobbered it head to tail (missing tip). never fear! it's not real! its rubber. real falulu. she goes bonkers for rubber snake snorting like a truffle pig. i put it in a evergreen and leave. 

teddie's paw says izatreal? and shudders like quaking aspen. nah, it's a rubber. i tell him about the tangled family i saw by the horseman protest statue and he winces. they're sweet snakes i say but he doesn't believe.
