I'm relieved that Samson's had an anti-venom shot to protect him from rattlesnakes. What about you? Is there a shot for you and your husband????

That's a wonderful precaution. I'm sure Samson appreciates how well prepared you are to keep him safe, Inger. He seems to truly pay attention to your warnings! Summer heat is just getting underway and I worry about Rattlers, not in my own yard, but in homes of friends. I am sure you're very aware all the time! oxAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3271959060195052715.post-38293953845660099452013-06-25T20:09:19.796-07:002013-06-25T20:09:19.796-07:00I'm thinking you could tell the difference bet...I'm thinking you could tell the difference between poisonous and non-poisonous snakes... and leave the bad guys alone.

A couple weeks ago,...I hope Samson listens to you.<br /><br />A couple weeks ago, our neighbor's cat (who spends so much time at our house, he must think he's OUR cat) was playing with something in our back yard. At first, I thought he had a very long worm. Very long. Duh. It was a young snake. A dead young snake. I guess the cat must have killed it, but he wasn't at all happy when my hubby took the snake away from him. This one wasn't poisonous, but we do have copperheads around, and the babies are as venomous as the adults.Susan Flett Swiderskihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09425315552148200073noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3271959060195052715.post-8380060713296958332013-06-25T09:33:49.144-07:002013-06-25T09:33:49.144-07:00ugghhh on the rattle snakes..

I was just going to try (silly 8 yr old) when my mom looked out the window (timely) and screamed not to touch it. My dad and his brother had to get rid of it. <br /><br />And, like Samson, I had been told not to touch snakes with rattles. That was a close one. D.G.
