Sept 5, 2010 - Labor Day weekend Findlay OHIO

[GoldenLover]

It was nice to meet you all and we had a good time (well, minus the last 15 minutes).
Kody is doing well. Luckily the wounds are all puncture wounds and not rips/tears. I found a few more puncture wounds on his jowls once I got him home- They went clear through to the inside, and they were actually what was doing alot of the bleeding. He's drank a couple times and they unclotted, but I kept pressure on it with the towel and last time he didn't start bleeding again. I got his antibiotic and gave him his first dose- who knows if the other dog was up-to-date on shots so I'd rather be safe than sorry. Just gotta check the wounds out a few times a day and put hydrogen peroxide on any of them that aren't on the inside of his mouth (basically just the outside of his jowls on one side). He doesn't seem sore or upset. Kody is always happy-go-lucky no matter what. I honestly think it hurt me more than it hurt him. I *really* wish I had got some info on that guy or a license plate or something before he bolted. I still can't believe that all happened. I am in overprotective mom mode. I'm watching Kody like a hawk and babying him-trying to prevent him from knocking the clots off again. Poor babe!
BUT apart from that, we had a great time! Loved seeing all the different breeds out there (and the TONS of goldens)

good to hear!
that guy has been there a few times that I have been there its not his dog- its a girl that rents from him - he brings him out for her. I think he comes pretty regularly so I'm sure if Monica or you go out often enough he'll be there. He's the one that told me he saw a pit bull climb the fence and take down another dog out there. Which I didn't buy that story at all. I *think* he might have been a teacher at Findlay somewhere.
