This is why you should not leave your yorkies outside alone |
So vey sad....poor babies:( |
Oh how very sad. I will keep this family in my thoughts and prayers, I know they must be devestated. There are so many dangers that await our little ones. |
This was a problem when we lived in the desert in AZ. One of our neighbors dogs got bit on the head but lived. His head was very swollen for awhile and he looked really bad. He is one of very few that survived a rattle snake bite. He was about a medium/larger size dog, nothing like a tiny Yorkie. Our cats liked to surround the rattle snakes, we had a few close calls too. |
we also killed one on our front porch this summer, the labs alerted us to it my husband was getting upset with all the barking and carry on they were doing, he thought they had found another turtle and brought it home, but when he open the front door there it was. |

It is a sad story. Thank you for sharing the story with us. |
How sad! Thank goodness, we don't have to worry about that too much up here! |
I am NOT even going to read that....that is just horrible!! That family is definitely in our thoughts and prayers!!! :love-hug1 We, too, have a lot of rattlesnakes, copperheads, owls, hawks, bobcats, mountain cats, bears, coyotes, etc.. around here...my little ones are NEVER out by themselves...NO WAY!!! There is just too much that could happen!!! :eek: We had a huge copperhead by our front porch this summer and our three big dogs had it cornered, they do not allow anything in our yard, so they were not happy to have this big snake so close to the house! --course they are the same way with moles, squirrels, etc. --even my pretty birds!!! But they are doing what they think is right...not allowing anything close to the house! Love those big babies!!! :wub: |

In Calgary,AB Canada we have no need to worry about snakes but Hawks and Eagles. It can be just as sad an outcome with these preditors! That is why I have invested in an 10x10x6foot chain linked doggie play area with a screened roof,toys and tunnels etc........they love it! And I know they are safe and getting good fresh country air! Wow I just realized how spoiled my babes are! Mommie to Harmony:animal-paHershey:animal-paand Pitico:animal36 |
Like bufo frogs/toads in FL. Read from the state's website that if a pet bites it they should be rushed to the vet/24 hour vet hospital. The sticky substance they excrete is/can be very toxic and death can occur. I steer the boys away from any frogs, toads, geckos, lizards because you never know what can happen, especially in warm climates like FL, the Gulf Coast and southern states. |

One of my friends sister just lost her jack russell from a rattlesnake bite! Said they were working on the new land they bought and it had an old barn on it. The dog kept barking non stop in the barn...they never went to check on it (which I always check when the dogs are barking nonstop, there is normally a reason for it..and everytime I check, they have something!)...anyway, they heard the dog yelp and it ran to them...they seen the two puncture holes on his head (above his eyes)....went in the barn and killed a rattlesnake that was over 5ft long!! The vet said that there was nothing he could do (??) and the poor dog died a few days later....they said he knew and got up from his bed and went outside (at current home with a fenced yard) and went to the fartherest corner of the backyard and that is where he died....:cry: |
Well known breeder lost Yorkie to a rattlesnake If any of you get the Yorkshire Terrier Magazine. There was a tribute to a Champion Yt by one the well known breeders. I only remember this because I thought the Yorkie was so beautiful and there were names listed in condolences to this breeder. How sad |
