He's pissed because he already DID strike and missed because he was on a steep slope that caused him to lose his balance and tumble into the path at my friends feet.

squirrel 0 #10 June 29, 2007 got a good story for you. so we are out walking the dogs, 2 boxers and an old deaf border collie. hiking through our favorite park, the white male boxer walks ahead, and walks up to what i think is a stick in the path. wrong! pacific rattler. spike goes to bite it, he loves sticks, the snake strikes... misses. spike takes a step back, and then the scene goes into matrix mode. the snake is striking...once, twice...three, four, five... spike, is bobing and weaving, ducking and hoping... i, and holding off the other dogs, and commanding spike to "back up" i was sure he was dead, and my mind when into "how to comfort him as he went on to the next life" mode. he backs up...dodging strikes as he does. it was incredible, ...he was one with the force, and managed not to get biten. the rattler slivers off, i check spike...once, twice, three times...no bite marks...i rush him to our vet, just to make sure...no signs of injury. most amazing. so, now, spikes' name has been change to .... "Spike, dances with snakes." ________________________________ Where is Darwin when you need him? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

squirrel 0 #13 June 29, 2007 this...is spike. and, crazy as it sounds...he is the most self realized dog i have ever encountered. ________________________________ Where is Darwin when you need him? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

sartre 0 #15 June 29, 2007 The funny thing is, that wasn't even the thing I saw today that scared me. That was in Aurora, in a very old neighborhood. Forget the bloods and the crips, the new gang color is a white t-shirt. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You're not scared of a little ol' snake, are you? It's obviously little, we can barely see it. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sartre 0 #17 June 29, 2007 Hey it was probably 18 inches long and I know nothing about snakes. I didn't want to get bitten before I got my patient treated! I did look for it afterwards, to try and get closer, but it had stopped sunning itself and left. Or it went after the bunny I saw hopping around the side yard....

ryoder 1,590 #23 June 29, 2007 Vast improvement! Now could you walk over and pick him up and hold his tail close to the lens so we can see if he is a rattler?Oh, and how about a shot of you in the frame with him so we can get a size perspective?
