At least everyone is safe and ok,your family and puppy,well minus the snake. I think you did exactly what I would have done,I too have some curious children and doggie,and wouldn't take a chance on it. Our neighbors down the road have already killed 3 rattle snakes just the past couple...

Tried splinting it,but its like his leg has just grown crooked,it doesn't stretch out,so I can't even get a splint on it. I don't know what to do now,I would just be content with letting him be if I knew he'd be fine,but its like his other foot is going crooked now from holding the weight,and...
