Rattlesnake Training Part II



We took Bayley back to Rattlesnake Training to make sure she remembered what she learned 3 months ago. We also took Jesse (The Kolman's dog) and she hated it! When I took Bayley up to visit the snake, she stood behind me the entire time. The snake was bobbing and weaving with it's eyes fixed directly on Bayley (and I) and clearly telling us to go home! The snake was de-fanged so we were in no danger - but coming this close to a rattlesnake in the middle of the desert is still no fun!

I am fascinated by this rattlesnake training
my boss lives in AZ--something creek--he has three little dogs but he said they have not had training but he's thinking about it
he mentioned scorpions--do you guys have to shake your shoes out every morning?
I think i would wear flip flops most of the time. . . . better visibility
i don't even like putting my feet in my gardening boots b/c they sit out on the porch and i'm always sure there's a spider waiting inside
i think i'd have trouble living with the daily threat of a scorpion in my shoe
when i went to visit kevin when he lived in AZ, he told me to check my shoes and i thought he was joking at first!
