My dog Sandy and I were best buds. He and I were always together. He was a blond cocker spaniel. We spent almost every waking moment together.
A few blocks from the house I lived in in Florida was a big patch of woods. This area was such a cool place. Sandy and I spent lots of time exploring the woods. There was a large ditch that ran through the woods. Of course it was full of fish. There was a big culvert running under the old dirt road that led to the woods. The minnows used this as their refuge. So, one day I was fishing for crawfish with some bacon. For those of you that don't know, once the bacon is in the water for a while it becomes stringy. And I noticed that the minnows would nibble at it, but because it weighted to the bottom where the crawfish were they could not eat it. Light bulb Moment!!! What if I removed the weight. Bacon floats, alright, I figured I’d let it float into the culvert where the big ones were. That was when I was able to catch them. I’d let them suck on the ragged bacon for a few seconds and once it was down the mouth, I would then snatch them right out of there. Happy days.
It was then the snakes showed up...
