KissMe survives rattlesnake bite

By Pauline Tom

Now, the story of the Memorial Day Weekend 2015 Adventure of KissMe, our little Great White Hunter with Red Spots. That Saturday, doing what long-bodied and short-legged KissMe does, a rattlesnake did what rattlers do when threatened. RonTom and I will mark that weekend “the time KissMe spent in Emergency Hospital, his life in danger.”

Friends, if you hear a yelp from your sniffing-in-flowerbed dog followed by rattling, do not waste time trying to find fang marks and asking Siri, “How do I know if my dog got bitten by a rattlesnake?” Maybe we were in shock. And, we certainly had an uncontained rattlesnake right at our back porch.
