A Bad Ass Bitch She's Not


Did you guys hear the news today about how a chihuahua saved a kid from a rattlesnake?

Made me reassess my mengerie of pets and wonder if they will be protectors of the house when tragedy strikes.

The news is that Zoey, a chihuahua, is a bad ass bitch (an animal word, not a slang word) and snake charmer to boot. Zoey, from Colorado, is being called a hero after she saved the life of a baby! The grandson of Zoey's owner was playing outside when a rattlesnake tried to kill him.

Zoey jumped in and took care of the snake. Monty, the owner said, "She just knew, she knew the baby was in danger."

The snake bit Zoey, but Monty says she's a "survivor."

Sadly, my dog, Petunia, (pictured above) on the other hand, would've sat back, peed herself and watched the tragedy unfold.

I have to admit it would be a question of which dogs would notice it first and then every one of our Norfolk Terriers would be RIGHT there and there would be five against one...but if the Cocker Spainel was the one she would lay there and let it happen, effectively waiting for the Norfolks to come and take care of the situation!

Yeah, sounds like how our cat treats the bugs that get into the house...We keep telling him that he is supposed to seek and destroy all insects. He just yawns and walks away...
