Well last night my black lab bit me. I had to go to the hospital and had a stitch put in, cleaned out, and get antibiotic to take for 8 days.
Strange thing. I am in shock that he did that.
He bit me a couple weeks ago a couple days after Byron Passed away.
I forgave him, it was not a bad bite and thought it was because he was mourning Byron's death. Last time, I had dropped a piece of pizza crust on the floor and I was reaching down to pick it up to give it to him and he bit me, growling and mad, I thought cuz he figured he wasn't going to get the pizza crust. who knows?
Tonight I had gave him a leaf of spinach to see if he would want it.. he dropped it down on the floor. The cat started going over to it, so I grabbed the cat and put her in a different room. Then walked back and said, Pal, are you going to eat that? I noticed it looked like it was sort of under the rug, so I was taking my foot to move the rug corner and slide the spinach over toward me more.Then I pointed down and said, here honey, do you eat spinach do you want this.. when I pointed down he bit me and bit me again.. it was like, What the Heck?
My son was there and he looked up and I said, damn I can't believe he bit me.
(Now, I had fear that is why I used my foot to move the spinach instead of bending over to pick it up.... so did it happen because I had fear?)
I grabbed pal's color and said BAD BOY, NO and he growled at me.
I told him to go in the bedroom. Then I lifted my sweat shirt sleeve up and saw he got me pretty good. My son said, let's go we are going to the hospital.. of course I ran to the bathroom to wash it out and refused due to me not having medical insurance. But, then he was talking to my brother, and my brother said get to the hospital and I called my girl friend Betty and she said Get up there. So I was out numbered. LOL.
I called the hospital and asked them if they charged on a sliding scale due to income. They said yes.. but who knows how much this will cost.
Pal Bit Byron lightly about a month prior to his passing I think that was over a toy, Byron was going to pick up and throw for him.
What has gotten into Pal is beyond me. But now with Byron, not here, I would be scared to be alone with Pal... as I actually thought he was going to attack me more when I was grabbing his color and sending him into the bedroom. Growling and showing his teeth. Wow, all over one leaf of spinach. He will be 11 years old on July 2nd, 2014.
I have a feeling I will have to bring him to the vet and put him to sleep and since it is Winter time here, I would have to get him cremated. More expenses! I just would not feel safe to have Pal around my grand kids, what if he bit them? It is one thing to be me, but my grand kids is another story!It just saddens me. Our 2 dogs and 3 cats, are like Byron and I's Kids, as we didn't have kids together so we just loved our animals and spoiled them like our kids. With loosing Byron , March 3rd and now having to put Pal to sleep is a bit overwhelming to think about right now.
Is the planet alignment happening this month affecting people and animals..? So many deaths just the last few weeks, it is unbelievable!
Pal was originally my Son's so it is hurting him also.. to see him put to sleep, but he does not want me to be left here and worry about him doing it again.
That is 3 times in 2 months.
Below is the pictures of the 3 spots I got bit. I got a stitch put in, I will have to have my son take a picture of it now. Have to go to kmart for antibiotics tomorrow, they gave me one tonight. They said to eat yogurt to prevent yeast infection from the antibiotics.. Really? All my life I had to always get a darn prescription of Monostat which cost more money and now they tell me the secret? Interesting!
I will have to write a blog post about Pal, as it was a very interesting one, when he was a puppy.
So confused don't know what to do......................
3 places he got me good!
