Night before last, Honey went out the back door and saw a copperhead coiled just a foot or so from our back door.
Of course, by the time I got out there, the serpent was long gone.
Last night, we let the dogs out for their usual potty break before bed-time. Dusty came running back into the house, and instead of going into her box, she headed into the living room. I called her back and put her to bed.
This morning, her face and neck are swollen; her collar was so tight it’s a wonder she didn’t suffocate overnight.
Typically, Tinker and Dusty hunt snakes, but this is the second time in a row that one has been bitten by surprise. (pooped pup)
In a few minutes, I’ll be taking the weed-eater to the liriope.
