My dog Jack was bitten by a good size, about 30 inch, copperhead in the face up at our place in the NC mountains last fall.
I was able to get ahold of our family friend who’s cousin is a vet (it was the weekend and getting ahold of a vet was hard) and she advised Benadryl and Prednisone (if we could find some) so I rushed him home, stopping at the first drug store I got to for Benadryl and still made the normal 3 hour trip in 2.5. We had some Prednisone at home and I gave it to him as soon as I arrived.
He was really swelling up by that time and I was terrified, this dog is my best bud.
After a couple of days he was pretty much back to normal. Vet told me copperheads normally will dry bite or very low venom bite first, and it’s only when grabbed and they get an opportunity to give multiple bites that they do the full boogie dose.
I killed that bastard and hung him on my box blade by the woodpile as a warning to his kin before I left. Coulda just as easily been me, I was working all around where he was.
Pics were before I left for home.

You can be looking for them and see them. They are nearly impossible to see in the woods.
This photo does not surprise me. When I'm on any form of mass transport, I always offer my seat to a lady. Sometimes they decline, but at least I offered.
Now I want to say something in defense of the males who are seated.
(1) Chances are, they have never been taught chivalry. So if they have never been taught to give up their seat for a woman how can they be expected to do that?
(2) I use to think the feminist movement was bad in the 60s and 70s but it is on steroids now. It goes beyond aggressive to insanely militant. I never thought that I'd see the day when the feminists would demand the perceived "right" to serve in combat but when it comes to drafting women, we hear crickets from the left.
With that in mind, I can't blame men of any age to say; "Screw it bitch, I was here first. That's equal rights so suck it up bitch."
I've thought about that on the occasions that I've offered a seat to a women but demurred. Hopefully, I was showing some ungrateful feminist Nazi bitch that I'm the bigger man - A REAL MAN and not a women pretending to be a man.
The only caveat that I want to make with the photo is that this woman is expecting. We don't know her politics or views on feminism from the photo. That doesn't matter. My primary concern would be for the child that she is carrying.
I want to see the unborn get the very best care possible. That means that the woman carrying the baby should get the best care possible regardless of her political leanings or feminist viewpoint. That means, she should be offered a seat.
It may also be that she may have declined to take a seat. Some pregnant women tell me how difficult it is to get up and down from a seated position. So she may have opted to stand for what may have been a short ride.
If the woman in the photo was not pregnant I'd say; "so what?"
They look European to me, so they’re already half woman.
We would fence the area off and put up warning signs. Normally a den that big isnt near people, and we leave them alone.
Biggest den near people I've personally seen was 200+/- in an old drain pipe. Caught most of them, killed about 25 over the next week. Relocated the caught ones a long way from people.
I wouldn't offer my seat to a woman anymore...unless maybe she was really cute. Equality, right, ladies? A pregnant woman or an older woman in obvious need of rest are definitely exceptions, though. Sex of the older person doesn't matter to me, actually, anyone that looks to be over 70 can have my seat.
Fixed it for ya.
The Germans took care of the men outside Germany. The Americans and Russians took care of the men inside Germany.

P.S. I did not forget the British and the French.... I just chose to sort of... leave them out of the equation. Especially the French.
And if it doesn't look right at birth, she can exercise her option to kill he or her.
haha, yeah you left out like three dozen genders including my personal favorite: "two-spirit" (whatever the fuck that means)
Yup, dog treatment is Benadryl (diphenhydramine). Something about canine, that and love is all they need.
Fortunately my FD schedule means I have my two dogs with me dawn to dusk two out of three days. I'd be just as upset about them getting hurt as you. I'm actually waiting for the day they tangle with some coyotes. Some coyotes know the memo, some don't. Those dogs' master is a gun hand, and always has a rifle near by. Their cousins have been left for the buzzards and insects for weeks on end, many times.
Is it legal to perform an abortion after week 12 in the US? If so, that's crazy :-O

Last night, while waiting to board our plane, @_carterjean_ was being her usual inquisitive self wanting to meet and say “hi” to everyone she could, until she walked up on this man. He reached out and asked if she wanted to sit with him. He pulled out his tablet and showed her how to draw with it, they watched cartoons together, and she offered him snacks. This wasn’t a short little exchange, this was 45 minutes. Watching them in that moment, I couldn’t help but think, different genders, different races, different generations, and the best of friends. This is the world I want for her.
.
In a country that is continuously fed that it’s so deeply divided by beliefs, I want her life to be filled with moments like this... not liberal or conservative republican or democrat, socialist or capitalist, just HUMAN.

Joseph from @samsungus in Oklahoma, if this should happen to find you. Thank you for showing my daughter what kindness and compassion looks like. Continue to shine your light in the world.
aww your daughter is BEAUTIFUL.
And that, folks, is what it means to be American...
Thanks for posting, Kevin. This made my day.
In greatest respect for everything, especially Joseph!

I just wanna know which one of you young, in-shape, snake-eater, trained killer bad-ass motherfuckers is chasing the Holstein in the top photo????
That man, My friends, is a Grandpa. Bet on it.
On my motorcycle trip in EU in 2016... did an excavation near Combles! The amount of UXO over there is remarkable. I think the whole thing was lost on Scout... but I have a ton of pictures. The shells are not that bad. But the gas shells are pretty dangerous.
The battlefield I am heading to in May in San Pietro.... is WW2. And much drier. The ordnance there is going to be much more... touchy. Like a lot more touchy. Which will make it that much more fun. On the bright side, no gas shells. But the HE there can still be very live. The Italian Army will have their techs with us. Gonna be interesting!
On Combles... we were picking up a pound of shrapnal balls... per square meter. A pound. That anything could live on those battlefields is remarkable.

My grandparents would rise from the grave if I would have not given up my seat.
