grand children #10 and 12, age 2 1/2 and 10 months

And you're spoiling them all, right? :haha:

I feed them sweets if the pose for me!

The snake that bit my dog. I think she was nesting.

The last pic was a week out, you can still see the swelling on the side of his face. He is all better now.

Lucky dog. And tough.

Yes, handsome beast. :thumbsup:
The dog, not the snake....



or Merc. :haha:

Lovely dog. I'm glad to know he's on the mend.

I've always preferred the look of dead snakes over the live ones.....

I am amused by the way you're keeping her covered in the first photo. Did you yell "hands up!!!"?

Poor doggie! I did not know you had a heeler Merc!

...or is that a cattle dog?

Glad your dog is okay! Snake looks like she might make a nice belt. What kind is it (is that a rattle on the end?)?

I think that's what we call a timber rattler. But then, what do I know? I'm just a dumbass Marine.

Eastern Diamondback. It had 8 rattles. I would have skinned it but was out of time to deal with it and I was off to work for the next two days at the time. I know the wife was not really interested in dealing with it and she wouldn't let me keep it in the freezer, so I had to trash it with great reluctance.

Yea, we thought we would down size after the Ridgebacks. Now we miss having the Ridgebacks again. He is a good additon to the pack but he is a handful. I am teaching him to be a frisbee dog.
