Just a Reminder: Not only ticks and fleas ... But now snakes are out too! :(:( On our street today, a Copperhead was killed. We have poisonous ones around here and I know many of you do as well. Please watch your furbabies carefully. |
I know that had to scare you when you heard about it. I imagine the heavy rain we've been having is washing them out of their hiding places. I hate snakes, too. |

Good reminder. Snakes scare me and freak me out. My mom one year was weeding her garden and she thought there was a really weird weed but it ended up being a baby copper head. My moms beagle mix who is some what over weight and getting old has a snake thing or something she moves fast and will corner the snake and bark until someone comes and takes care of it, its crazy how good she is at it with out touching it but my mom still freaks out and rolls the dogs around to make sure they don't have any bites. Also don't forget about certain spiders that can make you and your dogs sick. |

My dad has a blue heeler. He was making all kinds of noise and dad went out to check on him. He had a huge black snake in his mouth and bit it in half. :eek::eek::eek: The head part was slithering off when dad got out there. And Smokey had the tail half still in his mouth! |

My Pap Paw always kept Beagles. Swore by them to keep the critters out of the yard |

We find snake skins in our yard, and I have seen large snakes, thankfully not poisonous. No copperheads yet. I always remind dad to use tools rather than hands to clean out under shrubs. I feel your frustration over all the threats to our little ones. One of the many reasons my boys don't get to enjoy off-leash time in the backyard is we have a huge hawk living in our trees. He was sitting on the lawn this week. :( Our neighbor's Yorkie was attacked by hawk, and the only thing that saved him was a little bit of extra weight. The hawk came very close to tearing through his diaphragm. |

We have a big owl too. They are so neat, but deadly. |

We had a Beagle named Charlie that we rescued when we lived at our other house. He had been abused. :(:( I took him in as my baby. He was one of the best dogs we ever had. I am so glad your neighbor rescued! They are really wonderful dogs!! |

I didn't remember to tell you that we were out in her fenced yard one night and I couldn't see what it was, but I heard something running through the south part of the yard and it was running really fast. It was too dark to see that far. Scared me to death! |
