Biting the Bullet

Below is a photo of me with my buddy, Seger (named after Bob Seger and the Silver Bullet Band). We met when we did some Airedale Rescue work together a few weeks back. After hearing about Maggie the SoCal Airequeen's near drowning I thought it only fitting to share Seger's story.


That's Seger on the right, looking like he's about to tell off the paparazzi.


About a week ago Seger was bitten twice by a copperhead snake and almost died! (Seger stomped on the little sucker a couple of times, I hear). But, his quick-thinking family rushed him to the emergency vet, and in true Airedale fashion, he pulled through beautifully! I just saw him yesterday and he's back to his old self (except with a sleek new hairdo). It just goes to show, you can bite the bullet but the bullet bites back.


I just want to let Maggie, Seger, and everydoggie out there in blogland I've met in the last week know that I'M GLAD YOU'RE HERE! To all of the quick-thinking moms and dads out there, thanks for doing what you do best - loving us. Let's all be careful out there!

All of my goober love,

Stanley

Hey Stanley!
All I can think if is leave it to an ADT to a) get in trouble and b) survive one of the hardest things to overcome!
Seger is a true hero!
