I'm so sorry you were bitten! That sounded like a very frightening experience. I hope your leg heals quickly. Thank goodness you took all the right precautions to make sure it didn't get worse.
Have a superb time in Thailand visiting your brother. I know how much you miss him and love your time with him there.

Amanda,
You are right. I was typing too fast for thinking.
Just the other day there was something in the local news about a dog (golden retriever) that had bitten someone. And b/c the owner had no proof of rabies vacc. The dog is now being quarantined at the vet for 6 months, and costing the owner well over 1,000!
Marian, I'm glad you are doing better. You have a tough enough job to begin with! |

Oh Dutchy! Ouch! You poor thing...your friend, too. She must be horrified. Glad it wasn't worst. You said you were delivering the mail. I read once that dogs bite mail carriers because the mail has so many smells with it that it frightens and confuses them! Just a bit of trivia... Feel better my friend!
Hugs,

Ouch! Hope you feel better soon! My mom was a mailcarrier for 30 years and was lucky to never be bitten. Once when she had been housesitting for us we got home and she and i walked out to the mailbox. A lady walking past with her dog came near us and said he might jump but didn't bite. Famous last words. The dog lunged at my face. I put my arm up and he bit almost to the bone, tearing tissue and skin. As soon as his feet hit the ground he lunged for my mom who had luckily moved back when he lunged at me. The lady didnt even apologize and continued on her walk. Once hubby saw me bloody walking in the kitchen he went out and found her and he and a few neighbors educated the lady on dog responsibility and the seriousness of this with all the kids in the area, we also found out i was the 3rd person the dog bit that week!
Sounds like a good excuse to kick back and relax with a book or craft in the sun though! :)
