Snaker

A good Old Time Feist is an all around dog.
They will do whatever you need done. They
can bring in the cows, tree a squirrel for
dinner, or kill a snake--poison or not.
Belle Starr is an Old Time Feist. If moles
are in the yard--she'll dig them up and kill
them. She hates armadillas. She hates snakes.
She hates strange dogs, deer or anything that
is not mine. She killed what we called a Spread
Adder snake last week. He was big and fat. She
grabbed him and slung him until his guts came out.
today she went after a little snake--a Copperhead.
It was in the monkey grass by the sidewalk. She
knew that was a bad place...well, she grabbed
it and it grabbed her and hung a fang in her
lip. But she got killed him. Her lip and neck
are swollen and she does not feel well. Belle
Starr is a great Feist dog! She will be 11 in
August. She is my only Feist that stays in the
house.

I hope she will be okay! One of our dogs got bit on the nose last month by a rattle snake but he was fortunate enough that it didn't really affect him. He is over 100lbs i don't know if that makes a difference. I know what you mean about the feist killing what they don't want in the yard. ziggie kills us a rat at least one every night, They come out of feild by our house. We will pray for bell!! Tempe Buck
