...from one of our homes without killing it. It was at our lake place and right in the middle of the entryway floor. I walked by it at least twice without noticing but ol' eagle eye spotted it. She brushed it out the front door and off the porch without a second thought. It was small - no more than 15 to 18 inches long - but still very dangerous. From there, it disappeared into the grass hopefully to never be seen again.

If I ever suffer one of those very painful copperhead bites I will be stuck wondering if it was one that she let go.

.....and you did nothing. Speaks volumes.

...I am not totally useless.
