Star the Vineyard Dog
She's gone and done it again.
Star, our trusty Escafeld Vineyards dog, has taken on another rattlesnake. It struck her right on the nose, which promptly began to swell alarmingly, so we rushed her to our local vet where she received antivenin, anti-inflammatories and lots of TLC.
She seems to be doing well, and they're keeping her in overnight, so we'll post another update tomorrow.
Star is a great dog and the perfect vineyard companion. She loves to chase away the birds and squirrels and has pretty good farming etiquette: she doesn't dig at vines, tries to resist grabbing and running off with grow tubes, and she's not tempted to snack on the grapes (at least while we're watching).
She's in good hands and chances are that she'll be fine and back in the vineyard in no time--hopefully a little more wary of snakes in future.

Great looking dog! I can tell by her expression that she's fun to have around. Glad she's doing well after her snake episode.
Thanks Mark, She's just about back to herself again now. We're hoping she'll steer clear of snakes from now on!
