The King Brown Snake Comments

Well, very sorry to hear that. It's a sad story. It made me think of my cat who lived13 years with me although she died naturally at last.

Stacy: This is a true story of the time I lost my best friend, Tilly. she was a Jack Russell Terrier who, with the help of her instigating mother, took on a 2.40 meter long King Brown Snake. Tilly and Perle fought over the snake, one at each end, and lost. The other 'guys' mentioned are the dearly departed of earlier times (all pets)

ok...again I don't want to ruin the surprise for other readers but, can you explain the symbolism?
