They are bad juju. While fishing, I've had them swim directly up to the boat to let us know we didn't belong. Had to knock 'em away with an oar. When my dad was a kid on the Saline and Ouachita he had them drop into the boat. They are crazy aggressive, like most large water snakes. I still had bad dreams until a few years ago about falling into a cottonmouth mating ball. It still gives me goose bumps. I saw one the first time I crossed the Brazos river when I was a young boy scout. I was in the shotgun position and I looked down when we were crossing the bridge. I was was horrified.

I remember swimming in the Arkansas river in Wichita as a kid. Up where my maternal grandparents lived near Salida Colorado, it was pristine. In Wichita where the maternal’s lived not so much.
I remember seeing the snakes swimming, didn’t think about it much, but I was a dumb kid.

When are the puppies due, Brad? Will it be the same breeding as Buddy?
