Dachshund vs Rattlesnake

Franzi inspecting her dead rattlesnake

Dachshunds really are fearless. I came upon Franzi (my chocolate doxie) barking up a storm and bobbing and weaving around a rattlesnake.

The snake struck several times but Franzi was able to jump out of the way like a mongoose.

Fortunately, my husband came along with a shovel and ended the match before Franzi got hurt.

Rommel showed up to look at Franzi’s snake

Franzi insisted on sitting with the dead snake for a while though. Her uncle Rommel showed up to take a look too.
