After church this morning, I loaded up my elderly dad and Weimaraner and headed to the farm to mow and pick up limbs.
Jade my dog was sniffing around about 30yds away then started barking at something in the leaves under the pecan trees.
I walked over to investigate then she let out a yelp.
A pretty good size pygmy rattler got her on the paw.
Off to the emergency vet.
Lymph nodes were swelling and she was going into shock.
Antivenin ain't cheap..
I probably wouldn't have worried about it if it were a copperhead.
Maybe.
She's my velcro.
We're inseparable.
