They are Havapoo dogs. Havanese and mini poodle mix. They are brother and sister from the same litter too. One looks like each parent. The little poodle is like 6 lbs. the other is around 11 lbs. The poodle is female and completely dominate. Both are really sweet dogs though.Are your dogs golden doodles?
We lost our English Bulldog Henry last month. It was fucking sudden and brutal. Had an undiagnosed congenital diaphramatic hernia. Symptom onset to death was one and a half hours.
We’ve got a golden doodle puppy now. Great addition to the family.
No one else have snakes?
Used to be that way here, too. Living in the PNW and was once Bambi wonderland with the usual level of deer, rabbits, snakes, frogs, owls and so on. I loved finding gorgeous tree frogs and alien like insects when I was little, too. Snakes were mostly garters, so no real worries there. I remember a giant toad family living under our house one year. I was so scared of them as a little girl that I would enter the house from the back yard. Freaking baritones.As a kid I kept snakes, chameleons, frogs, toads, fish, birds and various insects, all of which I caught except for a few fish that I bought.
Ended up keeping and breeding fish from my 3rd birthday through to this day (53 years).
I was very-lucky 'cause I grew up in South Africa where the wildlife was "dense" in its distribution. I could walk up to virtually any shrub and find a chameleon or some other interesting critter on it. Being a bit of a loner and struggling with illness since age 2, principally brought about by heavy-metal poisoning, I spent most of my childhood sitting in trees and observing nature. When not doing this I was catching, keeping and breeding the things.
Interestingly, 9 out of 10 snake species back there where I lived were non-poisonous, so I just went after and caught everything by-hand. Was bitten many times, but the only time it counted was when a Red-lipped Herald got me, and it was one of my pets. Semi-poisonous snake, so no biggie - just a headache for a few days. Here in Australia, it's the other way around and you best walk away as soon as you encounter something.

At one point I might've taken it too-far:I'm a big fan of snakes, have been since I was a child, always found them fascinating.
