On Pompom - versus Cobra
This is a special post for a dear Baesister who has a Birthday.
It is a true story about my little black dog, Pompom. She
is small - about 9 pounds- and black...I don't know her
breed. A friend gave her to me about 6 years ago...I guess
for a dog, she's middle aged now.

Pompom is fearless for a small dog, she would bark at a blade of grass shaking suspiciously.She's not noisy, but she will bark at strange things. There is one kind of bark that is different from her other barks...she will bark like that when she sees a snake. It's a short, high pitched bark which is continuous and consistent, until the snake backs off. At one time we had a big hole in the sewer...and a small cobra came in to the side terrace - Pompom's abode - and made it self at home there. Our dog alarm went off...we investigated ... and saw dog and snake facing each other...the snake with it's head upright. My father killed the snake with a broom. The cobra was small...only about fifteen centimeters, about one cm in diameter.

I examined her neck gently, and found two gaping holes in it. We went back to the animal hospital. Pompom was examined again. It turned out she had to be hospitalized and operated on ! I guess the cobra venom had worked it's damage. We really felt sad for our little black dog.

That is the story of our heroine...our small and sweet, brave little black dog. We do love her very much.

Still couldn't believe the size of that snake though..errrr..
Thanks.
Love, Hyds
We are about to eat now...and she's peeking through the glass doors he he...
Her neck was swollen cos of the venom,probably..
About the size of the snake..I know it's sooo hard to believe.. all of us here shrieked when we saw the dead body of the snake ...so BIGGG !! [too bad I wasn't taking pics then]
There's a funny story about the snake ...the day after, I was walking in front of our house beside the big gutter along the road,I looked down and screamed !
Somebody had thrown the dead snake into the large gutter. I called the maid..and together we stood there and were exclaiming over it, when a couple on a motorbike passed by...
They stopped and asked us what we were looking at...we pointed...and they both looked down. And the woman screamed..and [can you believe it...] they hurriedly got on their motorbike and drove away !!!
Ohh Hyds...the maid and I was laughing so hard !!
My friend at the moment owns a 9 foot carpet python and placed it in a glass enclosure under the stairs...ohhh I don't think I could do that..
Love, Hyds
Glad your mom was Ok !
Love myoce
