Snakes in the House

Today is our pack-out* day. The movers, or as we call them, 'the packers' were supposed to come in at 8AM but apparently they will be late for around 2 more hours. 

The doorbell then rang and it was the USDA. As part of the pack-out procedures in Guam, they need to do an inspection of our stuff, our house and yard, to check for brown tree snakes. He brought his dog trained to do this task, and to keep things more fun, he 'planted' two live snakes in our house to test if the dog will find it. Relax, the snakes were in a cage. :) 

He put one by the window and another one at the laundry area. He says the laundry area is a good way to test the dog because it can somehow mask the snake odor becaus of all the detergents, etc.

The dog of course sniffed through the whole yard, outside the house, and every corner inside the house. It found the snakes of course. Good job! 

Too bad Kale was at daycare, he would have enjoyed watching the dog, especially while sniffing through his toys. :)
