Wow two Michigan rattlesnake threads in the last month or so.

Good dog! He should get a soup bone for a reward.

[tal hajus]

I had a dog save my life also.

[Ditter]

Oh yuck! Snakes disgust me, kill’em all!

[SgtHooper]

Beautiful snake AND dog.

“...lost control of an eyelid, drools and can’t handle hot weather.”

I know somebody like that, in my family.

I tend to put snakes in the same category as scorpions, gila monsters, and possums. That category being “Things that would make good target practice for my Mossberg.”

Good dog. I wonder how they wandered into danger.

In 30 years in Michigan, I only saw one rattlesnake in the wild. It was a teeny, tiny thing maybe 10 inches long. Snakes weren’t unusual in the orchard where I worked, but most of ‘em boogied before I could get a good look at ‘em.

Been there...Good Job Kodi.

When I was a boy I had a paper route. At the top of one street a customer had a beautiful Samoyed named Charlie. Charlie would wait for me to show up on my bicycle every day and I would pet and scratch him.

One day as I started up the street, two large German Shepherd dogs charged me with ill intent. From far up the street came Charlie, who chased away the two dogs.

I love Samoyeds.
