About a month ago I was watching my daughters dog and he was struck by a damn rattler in my back yard. We hurried and called the vet but he said they only thing to do is anti venom. He would need 3 doses at $900 per dose cash money up front. Unfortunately no one had that kind of money so Scamper die several hours later. I can't even imagine how many doses that dude required.

This is one instance where I would support an insurance company's refusal of payment. If he needed even one dose of anti-venom, its the claimant's own particularly astounding negligence that caused the incident. This is a life lesson, that since it didn't end in death, should end in a punitive debt.

Or the insurance company should pay for an involuntary vasectomy, and call it good.

Naah, the fangs grow back. And as for the venom glands - may as well roast the snake and call it "chicken" - the glands take up too much headspace.
And as for the subject of the OP...
...Amazing!
