    Rattlesnake!!!

    What a good dog! It amazes me sometimes how devoted they are to their people! We used to live in Nevada, and my old dog did the same sort of thing, and kept my then 5 year old brother and his friend away from a HUGE rattlesnake! I have plenty of respect for them and the role they play in...

    I was just assaulted

Kids that age get really confused/upset by things like that, and it can cause some big time problems... from emotional to behavioral!
