We walk often in the foothills around Ashland for long periods of time. One day, my dog, Mila, stumbled over a snake. I turned to see it kind of jump and then turn and coil as it started to rattle! I said "Mila, COME!!" and, fortunately for us all, she did immediately. John was trailing behind and shot this photo, just as I turned to see the snake and Mila stopped to look at it. The next moment would have looked quite different than this as Mila, Dakota and I sped up the hill, away from the pissed-off snake!! A close call to be sure!! I'm presently researching all I can about rattlesnakes and rattlesnake bites!!
