I am so very sorry for your loss......we do our best to protect our precious babies....and along comes the devil and our babies are lost.....and regardless of anything we do, these damn snakes still manage to encroach into our personal space and wreck havock.....I keep my dogs in the area right up around my back door lawn area, that is totally flag stoned in....few in ground shrubs, emptied out my fish pond and replaced it with a waterfall feature that I have NO doubt a snake can find relief in so I watch it closely....a snake will hide in your shadow if given the opportunity, so I am relentlessly double checking the area before the dogs go outside, while they are outside, and even every evening when the dogs are put up for good for the night. I am so sorry for your loss....we do the best we can do, and it still gets ahead of us sometimes.... |
