Fluffy; the reptile rejected at the office.

From Dr. Bohdi: “I refuse to share my therapeutic fame with a reptile.”

Dr. Bohdi is reasonably upset. The newest PathSeeker Center therapeutic tool is a snake: “Fluffy.”
Fluffy is a concrete example of how people can overcome phobias and fear. Snakes are a common phobia to a large portion of the population. After some effective counseling; Fluffy is not so scary. But it might take some professional intervention to reach that point.Fluffy was rescued from a band of peacocks looking for an afternoon snack. No, to quote Dave Berry, “I am not making this up.” Peacocks eat snakes. Fluffy was out for a late afternoon bask in the autumn sun when she caught the attention of the peacocks. A neighbor saw the crowd of birds and called in for a rescue. Dr. Bohdi is upset to see an “animal” in the office. But for overcoming fear and phobias; cute furry dogs are not a very effective tool.

I only link to it because I have to: Snakes on a blog.
