I don't have too many animal-inflicted wounds in my past, other than the fat lips Willie used to frequently give me by exuberantly "giving" me his paw as I knelt down to give him attention, usually ended up getting socked in the face with his paw . I did get one from Tasha about a year ago. I was holding/throwing sticks and she was leaping to grab them. I was trying to get pictures of her jumping. Well I wasn't paying close enough attention and was holding a stick with my thumb along the edge, and Tash jumped the gun to leap and grab it before I threw it, chomping right down on my thumb at the nailbed. Pain? I think I saw stars and had leaking eyes for the moment until it went numb. Holy mackerel it hurt! I'm not sure why I snapped a pic of it when I went in. Perhaps to serve as a reminder to myself to not be so foolish in the future . It took many months before my nail looked normal again. It may not look like a lot, but I can tell you it was quite painful
