Westies and Snakes

While Zachary and I were in the back yard today a 4 ft black racer snake decided to come close to Zach. Thank goodness, I saw the snake first. I was able to pick him up and the snake slithered away. Our last Westie once had cornered a water moccasin; we were able to pull him back before the snake bit him. Since most West Highland Terriers will not back down, we have to watch out for them when they are puppies. They think it is a game but unfortunately, it is a game they may lose.
