So For
Today:
Yep the
day started off great. We had breakfast together. I messed with the computer some
then went down to see the cats and talk to them some.
I noticed some
trash bagged to go out. So out the door to the trash can. WHOOPS, today is the
day to roll out the trash. So I started to the road..
Ahead
of me I saw a ‘waving’ neighbor’ walking her Pit Bull. The bull is about 85 lbs
and pulls the lady around. As she got
close and started to speak when the danged dog lunged for my throat pulling lady
but only caught my chin and the edge of my throat. I pushed him away; then he
latched onto my wrist. He turned loose to reach for a better hold thank
goodness the lady had her footing and dragged him back a few inches just as
those jaws snapped.
I was in
shock. All that lasted less than 10-15 seconds probably. I looked down at my
wrist and said, “OH SHIT!”
I grabbed
some paper towels coming thru the basement, and they were soaked by the time
Sherry saw me.
Anyway, the
blood had stopped and Sherry was getting ready to take me to the hospital. I
went next door to Tell neighbor Richard about the dog, because he walks that
way often.
I was settling
down a little on the short ride. I felt the small cuts on my chin and throat
and it hit me how close I came to actually dying. If that dog had got my throat
I would have been gone. On my throat the cut where the teeth brushed appeared
to be done with a razor blade. That is some sharp teeth.
After 6
hours in Emergency, and a visit from Animal Control, I left with only a suture
in my chin and one on each end of the 1¼” jagged cut. They did not sew it up ‘because
it needed to drain, it was DEEP.’ The other 4 punctures were left alone.
The only
time it really HURT was when the nurse cleaned it. That was a BIG OUCH! LOL
Funny
thing isn’t it, A few seconds just walking to put the trash out, can CHANGE
your day. But in the end I am alive and feeling good.

leash can be dangerous……

Oh Jack! This has me so upset. I am so glad its no worst than this. Everyone thinks their dogs will not bite. But they will!!! Those bites looks so painful! We worry about this happening while we are on our walks.
Prayers for your pain.

Oh Jack, I'm stunned and saddened. What a close call! So I'm thinking, between the snake bite and THIS, Sherry's 'cool hand Luke' poise may be wearing thin? (HUGS, girl!).
Remembering the days I spent in the hospital following a dog bite, PLEASE be super careful that doesn't become infected?!
Thank goodness you are ok, it could have been worse. With a dog like that you'd think twice about waving at your neighbors. She shouldn't have been walking the dog if she couldn't control him. So glad you are ok. Take care and be careful. Love from the frozen north.
Oh my gosh that is HORRIBLE! I am so sorry. That lady has NO BUSINESS having a dog like that. Are they going to have to get rid of him? I hope you heal fast and stop hurting. God is not done with you yet. That was close.
I am so worried about you. saying prayers. what a terrible thing to happen. that dog should be put down. its dangerous. and could maime someone else. when i was young i was walking my beagle pup when a vicious dog attacked us. it was a shock and the terror has stayed with me. so when i heard your story i was just shaken to the core. you stay inside and away from that monster. i hope the wounds heal without further threatening your health. take care dear blog friend. take care.
I am Shocked but totally not Surprised, Pit Bulls are Tempermental, I know from working with K9"s that there are some dogs you need to watch ! I have a few nasty Bite Scars and so some other Officers working Training K(;s.
I am glad you were "Blessed" not to have suffered anything worse than what you were inflicted, Keep an Eye on those wounds, Take 2 Aspirin and Go lay down in your Rack !
I am sure your Honey will be watching you and taking loving care of you, sending down Healing Prayers and Love, Gary an Anna Mae
OH MY GOSH!!!!!!! Jack!!!!! I'm so happy you survived this... could have gone terribly wrong. I just can't understand why people think those dogs are OKAY to have. There have been so many times when you hear of these kind of accounts. So sad. You're in my prayers ... and Sherry is too.
Had me in tears... So glad youre ok! Please stay away from them cats until youre healed, feed them of course but no contact ok? Please squeeze Sherry for me. If I'm this shook just reading this I cant imagine how shook the two of you were Love you 💜
I don't trust myself to say anything about that "lady" and her dog. I am so glad you are (relatively) okay. I am a dog-lover, and these kinds of incidents chap my hide.
Rock on, Bro!!!
