As a long time student of animal behavior and snake owner, this is pretty accurate I'd say! They may not be mammals or birds, but snakes definitely have their own personalities for sure...

NEW! Thank you to Lori Torrini of Behavioreducation.org Behavior Education for her expert knowledge on snake behavior and welfare. Blog post: https://doggiedrawings.net/blogs/whats-new/snake-body-language

"Dr. Jones, my pet died at home on their own. What are my options for cremation?"

This is a sad post for sure, but hopefully a helpful one to remember. I get a call or text like this probably at least once a month. It can indeed be very distressing, particularly with an unexpected loss and a larger pet. I always recommend calling your regular veterinarian first, as they will generally be able to help you just as if your pet was euthanized at their clinic. If your regular vet is not open due it being after hours, one of the 24 hour veterinary emergency hospitals below can generally take your pet in for cremation. It is recommended calling first to make sure they are able to assist you in a timely manner:

-Animal ER Care on Nevada

-North Springs Veterinary ER

-Southern Rockies Animal ER

-Tendercare Veterinary Center in Falcon

For transport, I recommend for all sized pets to get a package of puppy training pads from any local pet store or grocery store and place at least one under both their rear end and their head to control any leaking of bodily fluids. A blanket or towel can work well for smaller pets to wrap them in for transport. For larger pets, a sturdy old comforter can work well as a makeshift stretcher.

If your pet is too large for transport or you don't have access to a way to transport your pet, call Lasting Paws in Colorado Springs or A Paws in Time in Highlands Ranch if you are in Castle Rock or south Denver metro for transport options. If your pet is a regular patient of mine, I will do my best to help assist you with cremation transport.

This is me and my dog Fawkes who I lost two years ago just a few months short of 17 years old. He died suddenly at my home late at night and even I was faced with what to do with him even though I help many pet owners with at home euthanasias. Miss you, buddy! ❤️

Get well soon, Emmett! I did have to chuckle a bit because when our smaller animals go under for surgery or other sedation, we often do a quick nail trim while they are out. I see Emmett likewise got a quick mani/pedi while he was out with some big stout horse hoof nippers!

We may not have gotten a ton of snow, but the cold sure arrived! Just a reminder to make sure all your outdoor animals have fresh water available. Our chickens for example don't eat as well when they don't drink, so do your best to bring unfrozen water out to them as best you can.
