As the weather warms up, we should consider how to protect our four-legged friends from the "slitherins" in our neighborhood.  If you haven't seen a snake, you've probably heard the copperhead/rattlesnake stories.  A few of you have lost your pets to their bite.  Did you know that your vet can vaccinate your pet to reduce the effect of a poisonous snake bite?  Check with your vet.  You can also make your yard less hospitable by keeping shrubs and brush trimmed and mow/mulch leaves in your yard.  Know your snakes.  Rat/bull snakes and owls will reduce the food source of the poisonous snakes so lets keep them around.  Round eyes-good; "Cat" eyes-bad.  I've heard lots a stories about my property and snakes(a guest was bitten our our porch). We cleaned up around the house and I've only seen 1 bad guy in the the loafing shed over the past two and a half years.  Take Care.  - The Taylors on Brush Creek
