Beware of Snakes

Just saw on The Insider that Will Smith & his wife lost one of their dogs (an Alaskan Malamute which happens to be my favourite breed) to a rattlesnake bite (more correctly 3 bites). The famous Caesar Millan, aka the Dog Whisperer who is also a long term friend of theirs helped train the rest of their dogs to be aware of rattlesnakes and to stay clear when they're in close proximity of one. I'd love to train my puppy to stay away from my snakes. She's almost identical to an oversized rat.

My Poor Rat :(

Pinky :D

My poor rat just vomited in two places. I found out the usual way, wet foot test (arghhh). I don't understand why of all places she had to do it in my bedroom. :(

Cleaning the carpet in the middle of the night seems to have become my specialty as she's not fully toilet trained yet. These days it seems like her training is progressing backwards. Damn you tiny pea brain *sobs*.
