==========================================

Too bad our dogs and horses can't all get just enough of a bite in the nose to 
be a painful but harmless lesson. We "snakeproof" our dogs with the elec. 
collar (it's one of the few times I ever use the "high" settings.)It's not 
always effective;I've heard some dogs decide thereafter to pre-emptively attack 
and kill every snake they encounter.The collar deal ought to work with 
horses;the settings would need to be very low for a horse.(You catch a 
non-poisonous snake,put it in a pillow case,and put it in the refridgerator for 
at least two hours to make it torpid enough to control during the lesson.)Chico 
don' like snakes;some deer apparently hate 'em,judging from the deer-stomped 
snakes I've seen.Maybe they did get a punch(non-venemous or "dry" venemous) in 
the nose while grazing,and thus learned.
