Back to Normal

Looks like Freckles is going to be all right!

All of the swelling is gone

Freckles - 1, Snake - 0

Freckles went a few rounds with some sort of snake last night before Joe was able to intervene and chop the head off the snake and toss him over the fence into the woods.Freckles with mumps?
Freckles was all swollen under his chin this morning.

The red marks are where the snake got a hold of Freckles.

For now we have to wait to see what happens.
