Well, the horrible unthinkable happened. Sophie was bit by a Copperhead. She's doing fine now.

It was a couple of nights ago. we always take Sophie out in the backyard on a leash just so she won't get into the bushes and stuff. I always have a flashlight on to see what's around even with the deck light on, TO LOOK FOR SNAKES! I'm a worthless idiot. I didn't have my flashlight on. I must have walked right by it and when I turned to look at Sophie I saw her jump and I saw the small Copperhead retracting it's head. It felt like my heart stopped.

I grabbed her up and we flew to the after hours Vet. The Vet said it looked like it got her on the snout just below her eye. The Vet thinks it might have been more of a glancing blow and didn't get much venom in. Sophie has reflexes like a Cat, so I thik she jumped and pulled back before it was a bad bite.

I thought I was going to die. I hate myself. It was all my fault! Why didn't I have my flashlight out and watch better? I let my guard down! Poor Sophie, I'm so sorry.

Oscar was embarrassed about the whole deal. I spilled some Fish Fry and it landed on poor, Oscar.

Whenever we have to go anywhere without Sophie, I always wonder who is more upset, Sophie or us! LOL!

Oscar, says thanks for the get well calls, ya'll have given him. Miss Jan, you be careful by yourself. I know you will be okay.

While I travel this weekend Donnie will be staying home with Case.  My first knife show with neither one of them with me

Good to know they are both doing better Robert!  Snake bite is a bit rough to ask a little guy like that to tough it out through

I'm REALLY glad he's okay now!

Sometimes I think Cass and I spend more on our dog than ourselves, at the doctor or whatever......no, I KNOW we do! LOL!

Well my little dog, Oscar, is doing fine. I don't regret the $45 Vet bill, to make sure my little buddy is okay. I have heard of some people, letting their dog ruff it out after a snake bite. They just don't want to spend the money. They shouldn't own a dog if they fell that way. A snake bite is serious and very painful. Oh well, my little buddy is doing fine. Oh, and the other dog that showed up yesterday, is a lot better today and we found the owners. They were glad to find him.
