Sorry. Its been way too long.
So, on July 16th I was bitten on the leg by a dog.
Bad. Like an attack. Ouch. Bled like a stuck pig.
Lots of shots and antibiotics over the next 30 days to follow.
Much better now.
Except for the new fear of dogs.
And bruises and scars.
Sucks.
I like cats much more now.

Not a good experience, especially when not expecting one..
ReplyDeleteHope you get more trusting of good doggies. Like people there are good and better, and real bad....
You look sweet. Pooch couldn´t help himself. Keith must understand.
ReplyDeleteOuch - bummer that! My wife was bit by a dog and has the same reaction as you now (to dogs). All still we have had a couple over the years - but this does not change her general fear of strange dogs - Sad really.
ReplyDeleteI love dogs. But I have learned to be wary both south and north of the border. Most bad behavior is owner-caused. But that does not matter when the teeth are sunk in the calf.
ReplyDeleteI am so sorry to hear about you being bitten. How awful. I can understand how you feel. Take care of yourself.

That is absolutely awful Chrissy! So sorry. I was bitten once by a Seattle Seahawk's German shepherd. The dog snuck up from behind and got me right above the elbow. Fortunately, I didn't have any complications from it. Glad you're better. Take care!
ReplyDeleteThanks Everyone.
ReplyDeleteI am feeling much better now that I am off all the heavy antibiotics.
I still love the doggies, but I think that I will always be a bit more cautious now.
P.S. a cat I am pet sitting for bit me a few days ago...geez, cant a girl get a break?
ooh, really sorry to hear about that, but i am glad you are better. I have started taking a baggie of dog food with me when i am out on new old bike, you never know. senor says not good, you are feeding the bears, but i do not want them feeding on me.LL
ReplyDeleteOh my! I got a scare once from dogs that left me forever leery of big dogs. Ironically, I was living in Mexico at the time. Take care.
ReplyDeleteI am so sorry about that darling. There are some dogs that scare the bejesus out of me. There is this 1 house with 2 HUGE German shepherds that I just know if they ever got past that little gate would mall my kids and it is petrifying.
ReplyDeleteI have taught my kids that if they want to touch a dog- especially here in Mexico- that they 1st need to ask me, 2nd need to ask the owner and 3- need to ask the dog.
They have been told on more then 1 occasion that the dog does not like to be touched. A good lesson because touching a dog that does not want to be touched will get you a very unhappy response.
But remember that there are many wonderful dogs.
