    I hope your fingers feel better soon!!

    I was bit in the face by my RB Missy quite a few times when I was around 5... probably because she thought I was an annoying brat back then. lol

    Ouch! Getting bit is no fun, believe me I know.

    I've been nipped at several times and I've gotten a few small dog bites, mostly while clipping toenails of dogs at work. I had one semi-bad dog bite, a bichon ran and lunged at me (I was about 4 feet away) and he bit my ankle. I didn't pass out, but I was really really close, all I could do was lay down on the cool tile floor.

    I've had a few cat bites, mostly when grooming them. They can bleed pretty good, but don't hurt as bad as other bites.

    I've been bite by several rodents, they hurt really badly.

    The worst are birds. I've been bit by everything from a finch to a cockatiel to an african grey to an umbrella cockatoo (and much more). I've never bleed more than when I was bit by the umbrella cockatoo.

    Star caught my on the thumb once, I don't think she meant to bite, just warn, but I moved just as she spun around & ended right in her way. She seemed to feel really bad about it. once when she was a puppy she bit my son's nose, because he needed a correction! LOL! He still has a scar.
    Hope your fingers fell better soon.

    I'm so sorry you got bit!! That sounds awful. Also, too bad about not getting to see Fenway, but he will definately be happy to see you on Wednesday!

    I got bit by a dog when I was 3. I actually remember part of it too! I remember my parents were picking apples and I went over to this dog to pet him, then he bit me. I don't actually remember getting bit, but I still have a large scar on my left wrist from it, so it must have been pretty bad.

    Oh boy, I've been bitten so many times.
    First I can recall in my life by my aunt's doxie, Princess, the agressive, evil dog that was pts for being too agressive.
    Then by Pepper, the family cocker, who was choking on a chicken bone and I had to get it out of her throat. Understandibly she was scared and she tore up my hand real good. I've actually been bitten by Pepper several times, but all understandibly.
    Then by a neighborhood hound/shepherd/husky who jumped the fence and grabbed me from the side. I was like 10 at the time. He was eventually pts for agressiveness and having too many bite cases.
    Next is my friends labrador who had a neurotic streak, taught me to dislike these overbred dogs.
    Our old neighbor's labrador apparently had a thing for sweaters and grabbed my arm. Didn't sink any teeth in but imagine a 100+ pound horse trying to rip your arm off. I didn't trust that dog ever again.
    Autumn grabbed me once and realized it was me and let go immediately. I was doing something and I startled her I guess.
    There have been other times working with dogs, but nothing too notable. For the most part the bites were understandible, except for the aggressive dogs. If I ever have to work with a labrador I will definately require a muzzle until I decide whether or not the dog has any neurotic streaks.

    Ouch!

    I got bit by my then boyfriend's 120 lb Akita in the face. He has Addison's disease and I knew him from a puppy. He was having a bad day sickness wise and I was sitting next to him petting him. He jumped on me, pinned me down and bit the side of my face. It must have been a warning bite because I had some pretty deep puncture wounds, but he could have bit the entire side of my face off. I have punctures from near my temples all the way down to my jaw. They had to put him down because he was suffering too much from the disease. I still love and miss that dog and I'm thankful that he decided to only give me a warning bite.
