Sandy, good for you, not insulting the snake!

We're trying to prepare ourselves for rattlesnake season. They really scare us, because of the dogs. After the two got bit last year, we've been extra cautious about it. Jackson was still a pup at the time, and since then, he barks his head off if he sees a suspicious stick. We've killed a lot of sticks since then. We always yell SNAKE while doing those sticks in, and praise him like crazy. Hopefully this means that he learned not so pick rattlesnakes up with his mouth. He's the dog in my picture, and got bit twice inside his mouth. Silly puppy, thought it was something to play with, or something to eat.
