… ol Dixie raising heck in the driveway



… green tail just barely gone



… good girl

My six month old puppy was barking out in the front yard one night. Went out to see and he had his head down biting at something. Walked out there with a flashlight and he was on top this copperhead. Fortunately, the snake was in the process of eating a cicada and couldnt bite him

Pup got lucky.

Buddy had a Blue tick Coon hound got bit by a Copperhead. Leg swelled up at the Bite site. Took it to the vet and he gave it a shot, lanced it and cleaned it. When he lanced it we could smell that stink in the next room. Dog healed up real nice and never even had a limp.

I had a mt cur one night had one bayed in the wood pile. When I walked up to him, he grabbed the snake by the head and ended up getting bit under the tongue. It was a Fri night at 10 pm. Fortunately, we had a vet that would come to clinic at night. Dog was limp when I carried him in and wasnt sure he hadnt died on trip to vet. Vet said his tongue had swelled up so bad was having difficulty breathing. Gave him a shot and 45 min later he was up and around,

Maybe they are not as bad/dangerous as I thought? Only one my family has delta with was in my back yard under a corn hole board. At the time my youngest was around 7 and would grab every snake he saw. Luckily his older brother by 2 ye a rs was with him holding the board up so the youngest could get to the snake. The oldest stoped him saying I think that may be a bad one we beter get mom and be sure.

My wife confirmed it was a copper head. Mouth still trying to bite fangs visible after head removal. So I told her to put in the Wood burner to avoid the kids geting bit by a dead snake if curiosity got the better of them later. Naturally I was away at work at the time.

Did you slip on your wife’s shoes to go out yonder and step on that little ole snake?
Surely a hairy chested man wouldn’t wear them slip on penny loafers.
Probably got R and L on the bottoms.

…. You lose again Clay

Little Copperhead Road don’t have the same ring to it

we (about 3 of us) walked within 2 feet of one about 3 times and never knew it until we were about done; unloading groceries from a vehicle.

generally speaking...they just want to be left alone.

I can appreciate that!

LOL my coonhound got got at least 6 times. Took her to the vet the first time when she was just 4 months old but none of the other times. Pups are tough.........

Yeah that was Dixie. NOT the dog in my profile pic......that was Red Puppy lol.

Dixie was the best hound I ever owned. Coon killing machine....... she died of some flesh eating disease.....oomycetes they called it. Only 3 years old.......a dang shame.

Wow

She was Beautiful
