Victory, the Snake Watchdog Saves Us Again

Good Victory, saved all of us from a copperhead again today.  We were all in the goat pasture, and the puppies were exploring, and Victory walked over to the fence and was looking around and he jumped back with a look that said something wasn't right, same look he gave me when he alerted us to a snake in the barn door a few weeks ago.  Since Rog was out there with us, I asked him to go look to see if there was a snake over there.  He said he didn't see anything.  Then, Dodger went over there, and he started barking like crazy.  Rog said "he's just barking at the goats."  Well, he wasn't even looking at the goats, so I went over there, and sure enough, there was a copperhead.  This was number 12 that we have killed this year.  At least the snake didn't get away, and no dogs were bitten.  Thank you for saving us again, Victory, good boy!  Looks like Dodger is going to have lots of brains like his Dad and Mom.  So thankful the cold weather is coming tomorrow!

Here are some pictures from the dog show this weekend.  Victory did not place, but Jackie got Best of Breed in the puppy match, over her brother, Dodger.  I thought Dodger showed better and moved nicer, but Jackie has such a beautiful head and face.  Rog showed Jackie and Courtney showed Dodger, as I wanted to see how they moved and looked in the ring.  Both puppies took the show commotion in stride, and were very calm with all the barking dogs and the noise.  I was very proud of them.
