my little trooper

Poor Bum.  She got a booboo.  A big booboo.  See it on her ear?  I guess you can say our dog got a little hungry, and decided to take a bite.

Actually, it's more serious than it looks...she had to get 8 stitches, and it looks worse in the back, since there's another bite mark that the doc wouldn't stitch.  And it's black and blue too.  It happened yesterday...I just didn't get around to posting it.  Bum was petting Princess, I guess it was too much for her, and she snapped.  I was in the other room--all I heard was a bark and a scream.  Luckily, Joey was there to get Princess off...he had to punch her in the head to do so.  When I first saw her ear, it looked like Princess had taken a chunk out.  The whole time, Bum was screaming, but when she got into the car, she stopped.  In fact, on the way to the hospital, she was smiling...she said, "I guess this means I'm off punishment?"..lol.  We were in the ER for about 4 hours, mostly waiting.  She was really good, though, which shocked the hell out of me.  She has to go back in 5 days to get the stitches removed, and then to a specialist to see what's next for her ear.  I don't think they'll have to do anything, but I just want to be sure.

In a way I'm glad it happened to Bum instead of some stranger--imagine the bills then.  It's bad enough that we're probably going to get fined for not having Princess licensed, but that's better than getting sued too. 

Conclusion?  The dog must go.

til next time...=)
