If Paris was my dog she have steak for a week

Great dog.

No, Puff Adder not poisonous, but cross Paris's path and it's DEAD. She's killed 2 copperheads that I know of. It is fascinating to watch her stalk snakes. She hates them. Poisonous snakes in Texas are rattlesnakes, copperheads, water moccasin and coral snakes. Easy rhyme to remember about coral snakes; Red and yella, kill a fella. Red and black, friend of Jack. That is to say, if the red and yellow bands touch, it is a coral snake and poisonous. If the red and black bands touch, it is a King snake or Milk snake and is harmless.

Can't find much~under this title it is made by a couple Chinese Companies~seems to be just Glyphosate that is a dirty one. Claims low toxicity~under that name, but it's far from that. It's Cheap and Dirty`long lasting and migrates`
Unclear on the internet. If I can find out more I'll post it.

I wonder how to "extract" isopropylamine and glyphosate (alone) from Roundup ... An Identical post wasmade at the wd site by this person. should we be putting ... Glyphosate goes by the names N-(phosphonomethyl)glycine (the IUPAC name) and the other name of 2-[(phosphonomethyl)amino]acetic acid.

It seem to be one of the ingredients in Round up and Agent Orange~Glyphosate hidden under a new title.

Glyphosate is an aminophosphonic analogue of the natural amino acid glycine, and the name is a contraction of gly(cine) phos(phon)ate.

When my girls were young we had a dog that would get between them and snakes. They would try to get past her to look and she kept blocking them.

i remember that snake saying when i was in Florida for a few months as a really young kid. coral & milk snakes used to roam around the area we were in. good dog! i don't plan on going back to Florida for any reason, but if i could borrow a dog that hates snakes that much i may be more willing for another visit.
