Lollipup = Snake Hunter

Today, I, Lolli, have discovered that another creature inhabits this den with us...until now, all I have noticed is a large clear glass tank resting atop a low table upon which I am not allowed to put my feet.  However, as I grow taller, more things come to my attention, and today inside the tank (without putting my feet up, I swear!) I noticed a long, slithery animal weaving and undulating along the glass.  It has a tiny red tongue that it flicks in and out as if it were tasting the very air, and its eyes do not blink.  It weaves its way up and down the sides of the glass, taunting me...it delights in my desire to grab it and shake it because it knows I cannot reach it through the glass (yet...I am still growing).  I sat next to the tank watching it for a few minutes today, a bit mesmerized by all of the hypnotic swaying.  My strong terrier prey drive is urging me forward, encouraging me to play with, and perhaps even kill this arrogant, glass enclosed bobber and weaver.  Time will tell if I will grow tall enough to reach it through the top of the tank.  There appears to be a cover that somehow keeps the animal within its enclosure, but if only I can find a way up there, it may prove too weak to keep me out.  Tracy laughed when she saw me watching the tank, and assures me that I do not want to mess with this thing called "snake"...she says it can bite and even squeeze small animals to death.  However, at about 23 pounds right now AND with my new mouth full of lovely shiny adult teeth, she and I both know who would probably win should it come to an actual contest.
