Seems to me that if something eats your pet, it should be your new pet. *nod*

yet another reason not to own rat-dogs.

That's why I own 2 cats.:D

Actually, that's why I have a snake. He's not big enough to eat anything bigger than mice right now, but just wait ...

Indeed. You buy a pet that will eat your other pets, what do you expect...

That's wicked! LOL!!:D

Maybe they should have eaten the snake.

Evil snake!
I find it amusing to see chiahauhuas run about they're so small. awwwww.
that must have been quite horrifying for the kids, what a way to go.

mmm, dog stuffed snake, bon-appetite.

"The family that owned the dog had actually seen it in the dog's bed, which was a sign it was out to get it," he added.
Did it learn its stalking technique from Looney Tunes...?

why didn't the snake eat the perfectly tasty children? sounds like a snake who is worried about pesticides :)

"The lady who was there threw some plastic chairs at the snake"

:eek: and after such a punishment it was still alive!

My snake is afraid of everything, even her own food. She was afraid of my rabbit, and she's afraid of my two lizards as well. This is why we call my snake Mouse. Its kind of sad watching a 5 foot snake squeak and run away from a football sized bunny.

My snake bravely attacks pre-killed mice. He's only three feet long as yet, but growing. Soon, I predict, he will attack pre-killed baby rats.

Maybe your snake has been on teh internetz? (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_Ez5QPW-ku4) It knows the dark truth about rabbits.

Chihuahuas are evil. Death to rat dogs. Go snake!

And why didn't the family just kill the snake when they saw it in the dog bed? .410 shotgun? Machete? Club? Spear? ANYTHING?????

I need articles like this to remind me that despite the fact that Scotland is freezing, at least we don't have stuff like this. If I found a 14 foot snake in my house I'd pack my bags and never come back.

Yep. Via the ancient and majestic process of Dead Man's Shoes. Or in this case, dog basket.

I liked this line:

There are few free-roaming African lions and tigers between Florida and San Francisco, the geological survey said.

and:

As for other potential prey, human beings - like rodents, beavers and deer - are mammals, government scientists confirmed.

I'm glad about that confirmation - I was wondering.

Natural selection in the pet world? That's genius!

One less annoying little yappy dog.
