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

[lizbud]

Thanks for the update Anna. I'm glad you now have the "official" word
to give yourself more time & not rush things.Your leg actually looks a little
better in that first picture. Take it easy now ,while you can, & just enjoy
visiting PT a little more often.

Even though I'm new to the posts - I just wanted to take the time to say I hope that you heal quickly and don't feel bad about getting in the middle of the fight, because I have done the same thing and ended up getting bitten (but not by my dog - by a neighbor's dog who was attacking my dog.) We love our pets like children, so just as we wouldn't let two children fight each other without intervening - we also can't just sit back and watch our pets hurt each other. I do think that seperating Bon during mealtime is a good idea however, that way you won't have to worry about him displaying aggression sometime in the future.

Anna I am glad that you will probably be spending more time at PT but very sorry that it had to come about this way. I am glad you are getting some time to rest up. It doesn't look like standing on that leg could be a good thing but of course I am not a doctor (nor do I play one on TV....LOL!)

i'm glad to hear you're off work longer, you can and will take more meds and you are gonna see friends on saturday. and anna, honey, it really is okay to sit in your yard, with a book, a big glass of iced tea and enjoy 2-3 hours just sitting and enjoying yourself and your dogs. trust me, and try it. hugs joyce

I, too, am glad you'll be resting more. That still looks mighty painful. Take it easy and relax, ok?
And I made you a little something. I hope you feel better soon!

LOL! Roxey, you are just precious! I can see her mind at work..."Look, I can't make it any clearer, mom....it's as plain as the nose on my face!!!................Look into these eyes...deeper...deeper...)

I just want to reach through the screen & hug your beautiful girl! (I've gotten that look a few times too. ) And ditto what Phred said.

He he, yes Michelle purple is my favorite color...I just don't like to see it on my skin

And Mark as a "Approved Relief Pilot / Authorized Bike Driver" nope, he's not approved or authorized
Actually he's been busy working at work(guess someone has to pay the bills) and then working at home. But I'm not sure if he'd be too willing to ride my cute girlie bike any way

Although she hasn't been getting rides or walkies she has been getting plenty of quality time with mom and lots of brushing and loving...she's blowing coat like crazy!

Oh and an update...
The health inspector came today. Actually I met him in the driveway as I was just getting home from the Dr. All he said was that when a dog bites someone they just have to make sure the dog is A-OK, no rabies or anything. If they do, 10 days will be enough for the dog to be sick. Well he could "hear" Bon was fine through the window (barking like crazy) and said that's all he needed was to know the dog was up and doing fine. That was easy enough!

As for my leg it is getting better by the day.
Having the bandage wrapped around it relieves a lot of the pain now where before it was just aggravating.
I went to the Dr this morning to have the stitches removed and can I just say "OUCH!" . Touching that spot feels like a million needles poking me He did put some tape on the biggest cut to make sure it doesn't pull apart.
The bruising on the top is looking better but that hematoma needs to go away. It's what hurts the worst.
I'll attach a couple pics if you want to see.

[wolf_Q]

Anna, I haven't been posting much lately but I've been following this thread. I hope you are feeling at least a bit better now, that looks so painful!

[anna_66]

Thanks Amy

The days have been good and bad. Better the less I move my leg. And let me tell you this, the dogs don't like it one little bit...especially little Miss Roxey. She misses her bike rides.
I went to let the dogs outside Friday evening and she stayed in the house and did this...

She was bound and determined she WAS going for a ride. I feel so bad for them

[ramanth]

Awwww... there will be bike rides in your future Roxy.. I promise.

Isn't MARK an "Approved Relief Pilot / Authorized Bike Driver" ???

[captain]

Oh Anna, I get that look from Captain if I put my sneakers on to go to GYM!!! I should be taking him for ANOTHER walk, he thinks!

I hope your leg heals well. It looks horrible, .......... hmmmmmm, trying to be positive .......... it is a nice shade of purple ..... and isn't that your fav colour??

[CathyBogart]

Miss Roxey - you have to let your mama rest up a bit!
