Then I notice that one of my foster dogs is drooling. Ya, you guessed it, he was bitten on the nose. Of course it was 8 o'clock so the vet was closed. The only alternative is the 24 hour emergency vet but the rescue group won't cover the cost. That means giving the dog a benedryl and hoping for the best. He seems ok so far. From what I read on the internet, 80% of dogs will recover without treatment. I hope he is one of the 80%.
Tomorrow I have to go check the yard for the snake. I hope I do find him so I can call the relocation specialist to pick him up. If not, I will be worrying that he will come back. I sure wish I had a block wall.

Gila monsters, rattlesnakes, giant caterpillars... I just realized you live in a zoo!
...a shovel and a shot gun are my personal snake relocation specialists.
Rattlesnakes ughhhh! Scary! Kind of like Anonymous' idea of relocation specialists. Sure hope he is ok. Poor baby!

KoBold, don't forget tarantulas and scorpians! I don't want to go outside ever again.
Anonymous, if I had a gun I would have certainly shot the thing when it was threatening my dogs. I'm not a good enough aim with a shovel. I'd probably cut off it's tail while it bit me. It was getting dark so we all went inside and it was gone this morning.
Thanks Barb. He made it through the night so I think he will be ok once the swelling goes down. He is very uncomfortable though.
