Bon bit me (not feeling so blue any more!)

[dukedogsmom]

Oh Anna. I'm so very sorry. I know it made you miss Angus more when thinking how he never bit you. It's impossible to know just what to do in these situations. I probably would have done the same because it's hard to just watch that and you were worried about Huney. I hope your leg heals without getting worse. Try not to be so nervous. I know that's hard but dogs can sense that. I understand it did take away some security of your relationship with Bon. Maybe continue to feed him in his crate for a while? Also, maybe contact Nancy, the pet psychic? I hope my rambling has helped you a little.

I am so sorry that this happened to you, Anna.

Anna,
You know Bon didn't do it on purpose, you know that fighting doggies pay absolutely no attention to the human in the middle, and you know Bon loves you.

Having said that, I hope your leg gets better soon. Perhaps feeding them seperately for awhile will help, and I know that even tho I only have two, if one doesn't eat, when they feel like eating I lock the other one in with me, and put the food back out.
I know you know all this, and I think that you should not stop feeding them raw.

Now, I am taking this thread to a lighter place - for Chris and Anna - Bon and Bob bit you??????? If you want to rehome them, send them to me
(althought I might have to fight Edwina's Secretary for Bob and KayAnn for Bon ..... )

Get well soon Anna.

At the shelter I volunteer at they always have air horns handy in case when there are dog to dog intros they go badly. I bought one because there are times when casey attacks bubba, no bloodshed but it is scary and I am afraid I will get bit breaking it up.

You can buy one at a sporting goods store and keep it handy, lets face it you cannot separate them 24/7. I hope this was a one time incident, I definetely agree with the feeding separate idea.

Edit to add, I am so sorry about your leg, sorry but it looks just gross

[joycenalex]

wow that's one impressive bruise. and the paw print shorts are really cute. phreds' idea about NILF is good, as are some of the others' idea about seperate feeding areas. i don't think that raw food and raw feeding is more dangerous then kibble, to a dog, food is food and it could have happened over any type of food. i am so sorry that this has happened.

[wolf_Q]

Anna I'm so sorry that this happened to you. That looks REALLY painful, ouch! I've been bitten a few times at work but nothing like that. Please get feeling better soon. And know that we still love Bon, he's a sweet boy, any dog could bite somebody in the middle of a dog fight. Nebo is food aggressive with dogs, I know he would never bite a human over food, but it could easily happen if I was trying to break something up.

Gosh, I wish I had your email address, right now, but I don't (hate those darn computer crashes). Pam, thankfully, alerted me to the fact that you are hurting. I dare not even open the pictures, Anna. I've seen enough.

I simply don't know what to say or what to think, but I trust you and Mark to control your situation as best you can. I have had a similar situation in my home with Mack, but we think we have it under control now. But, like you, we have to feed Honey and Mack, seperately. He had too much aggression towards her. Thank goodness, he has not shown it towards us.

I'm sending you much love and many prayer for healing. I'm going to be away for a week, so I can't check on you, but please know that I am thinking of you all.

Oh, Anna, my dear friend! Are you trying to outdo me? Now, now.

This is the 1st I've mentioned this, but Mz Klo gave me a nice impresion on my bad wrist last month. i won't go into details, except to say, it was totally MY fault. as I grabbed her collar (anger on my part) after she disobeyed me when I was doing something I she didn't like. Lesson learned.

Of course it was an accident. Bon reacted on instinct. You're right, dog are dogs. They don't have hands to tell us to "get away" or slap us silly. You reacted instinctively also. It's one of those things.

I feel your pain (do I ever)..(Percocet works better than Vicodin fyi). Drink lots of H20 with Augmentin (I've had it 2x in 2 months and had a *ahem* female* reaction) Thankfully you don't need rabies shots (I'm one up on you )).

I love you to pieces (you know that) and hope and pray you feel better fast. A million HUGS too

[Oggyflute]

Hope you get better soon Anna. Thinking of you mate. Give your pups a hug, it always makes me feel better.
