Missing cameras, stray dogs, and hospitals... oh my!
Good gracious what a night....
My work day was actually really good till about 10 to 5. I decided I'd get some pics of Kia with her new dog bed (per Anna's request 
), opened the drawer.... the camera was gone.
Trying not to panic, I called my boss to tell her. She said that I wouldn't get in trouble or have to pay for it.. *phew!* We checked all over, asked other employees if they had borrowed it or seen it. No luck. Clare asked me to check at home just in case before she filed a stolen/missing report. Well, it wasn't at my place, my parents, or Andy's....so yep.... no furkid pics for awhile... unless I get that digicam I asked for for Christmas. 
Anyway.... when I got home, I took Kia for her walk and when we were about a half mile from home, Kia froze. It took a minute for me to see, but there, in the shadow of a house, was a black dog. Kia wanted to play, and thankfully, so did the dog. When he came into the light, I saw it was a young male husky mix. He had some tan markings on his face (maybe some aussie in him?) and a few spattered on his body. I asked around but no one seemed to know him.
I took Kia home and the dog followed. He ran into the road a few times, and fearing he'd be hit before I could call Animal Control, I took him inside. Zam didn't mind.
Logan pitched a fit.
My common sense decided to take a vacation and I figured I'd put the cats in the bedroom. As soon as I picked Logan up, he flipped out.
And sunk his teeth into my finger.
Called Animal Control and arranged for them to pick up the dog outside my apartment and I headed off to the ER.
No stiches needed but I have three deep puncture wounds in my right index finger. 
My medication has to be given by IV, so I have a bandaid on my left hand and wrist where the first two IV's were attempted... OW!!!... and the second nurse finally got it in my inner arm. It's still there because I have to go back for more treatments.
Got a tetnis shot in the left shoulder and a bandage on my right arm where I discovered after I got to the ER that Logan also scratched me.
5 hours at the ER... got home at 1 a.m. to find a very happy and hungry Kia, and two calm cats.
I'm tired, sore, and hoping I got treatment before any kind of infection set in.
Hindsight, sometimes I swear.......
