Going on Safari in my Backyard!


The other night, Derrick and I came home from the grocery store and took the dogs out to go potty. While we were in the backyard I noticed the biggest slug I had ever seen! I ran back upstairs to get my camera and let the dogs back in the house (I was afraid they'd eat the slug) and then came back down to photograph this crazy slug, knowing my family would never believe me without a picture. It just so happens Derrick works in Pest Control, so while I was photographing the slug, he was doing research to find out what it was. This, my friends, is a Leopard Slug. Apparently it's common in the backyards of Ohio. We put a $5 bill down next to it so you could see it's size but when we set it down he got scared and scrunched up a bit.


While we were in the backyard one of our dogs, Mya, was upstairs eating 1/3 of our Amish butter we had just bought. That's a whole other story.
