In September of 09 Lucy was bitten by a small rattler that came in to our camp while we were hunting Sage Grouse. We were 2 1/2 hours from the vet in Homedale, Idaho. This is what she looked like the next morning after the swelling went way down. Fortunately she had no permanent damage. Rattlesnakes became persona non-Grata the same as porcupines where I was hunting with dogs. We had always waited until cold weather to hunt chuckers because of the snakes. I don't have to worry any more as I don't have any dogs and don't intend to get another one.
