If I didn't have Bad Luck....

I'm going to clarify a little bit for you so you can understand what happened. Karen was driving and a dog ran out in front of her car and she hit it. Of course, she jumped out to try and help the dog and it proceeded to bite her. Obviously, it was frightened and probably hurting. I know Karen will explain more to you all, later, but perhaps this helps a little bit. It is definitely the "condensed" version! :p

I hope you enjoy the movie and your dinner, Karen. Take that deep breath that we talked about and try to relax

Love,
Logan

oh OWWW! :eek:

I hope both she and the dog are ok!

:confused:

I don't quite understand ...

Did the Injured Dog do a Byte and Run? :eek:
If it Bit and then ran off - did no one know its owner?

If it survived and got treated; quaranteening it for 10 days is usually
allowed before the bite victim needs to begin anti-Rabies shots.

If the dog died :(, then it can be tested for Rabies.

Sure hope the question is resolved before the anti-Rabies shots are needed.

hugs and prayers !

How awful. :( I am so sorry you had to endure this again, karen. (((hugs)))

I hope you're feeling better soon! You certainly don't deserve any of this.

Sending you GIANT HUGS, Karen, and I'm so sorry you have to go through this. Enjoy your movie!

Oh Karen..... words cannot express my sadness for ytou. Gentle hugs and many prayers for your poor wrist.

Aww *hugs* I hope thinks get better :)

The dog was injured, but ran away. She has no idea where it is, which was also upsetting for her.

Here is how she explained it in an email at 2:30 this morning:

... 1 blk from my house, i couldn't stop in time to avoid hitting a
small dog..maybe cockapoo. i pulled right over..the scream was deafening. i
grabbed my purse and ran over to look at the damage. i dropped my 2 ton purse by my leg..the dog crawled over to the curb. i went to grab my purse
strap..forgot i left my cell at home and the dog reached back and bit me on
the left pointer finger. i flagged a car. the guy lent me his cell and gave
me a towel. blood all over. a lady from a house came out of nowhere-did not
recognize the dog description..another lady pulled over and went to look for
the dog as it disappeared. i called 911....

When Karen and I spoke on the phone, earlier today, she said they gave her four injections last night that had to do with preventing Rabies. I'm sure she will give us a better explanation when she settles down a bit. She is exhausted and upset. I hope her evening was relaxing and that she will get good sleep tonight. She needs it.

Oh Karen. :( :( I'm so sorry to hear you've been injured again.. and on your birthday too! :(

I hope the dog is okay. You didn't mean to hit it so please don't feel bad.

I hope you enjoyed Shrek 3. *HUGS*

Healing vibes and warm hugs for you dear lady :) I hope things improve and settle down for you soon. Please don't blame yourself about the little dog - he/she should not have been out alone and unattended. We only have so much control over any outcome - please remember that. That said, I do hope the pupper is found and treated.

Please take care of your self and take as many deep breaths as you need to recover from such a terrible shock.

Major hugs,

Betty

Oh Karen, No!

I am so sorry this happened. You've been through SO much in the last year. Do NOT blame yourself for hitting the dog. Blame the irresponsible pet owners who allowed this dog to roam. Shame on them!!

BIG ((((((((HUGS))))))))) sweetheart.

I'm so sorry to hear this Karen. :( I hope you will be feeling better soon. It's not your fault, its the fault of people who let their dogs roam...hopefully he was found and is ok. I hope your hand gets feeling better.

Hey sweetie I hope your birthday got better hun. I think you'll have liked Shrek 3. Hubby took me to see it on my b-day (5/15) Keep your chin up hun. Things will look up soon.

Hugs and headbumpies

I am so sorry for your troubles! I know my feelings would be hurt right along with my body part if I was attacked by a dog and I was a real dog person! I love dogs but I know some can be really crappy! Just their nature I guess!
