Just another reason why our government sucks...

[Sandy Eggo]

I never said I was perfect but here's a clue for you asshat: I am a dog person and got bitten pretty good on my right wrist/hand earlier this week catching someone else's dog before he got hit in heavy traffic.  The bite got infected and I spent a good portion of my day Wednesday in the ER and seeing a hand specialist and am making daily trips through the weekend for dressing changes and IV antibiotics.  I am right handed and it is currently splinted and heavily bandaged so I am typing and using my mouse with my left hand and on Vicodin for pain.  I'm sure that it's difficult for someone like you to understand why I would put myself at risk for another living creature but it's just how I roll...and I'd do the same thing tomorrow if needed.

Oh, and I don't know the people whose dog I caught nor do I expect them to pay for injuries I received helping them.  Once I verified the dog's vaccinations were up to date, I was on my way.

Now ask me how impressed I am that you found a typo I made today?

 

I wouldn't have expected anything less. I think you've not only established that you're a dog lover, but that you have a a good understanding of how they think/react/behave. You knew perfectly well the dog was scared and I'm assuming that you are a stranger to the dog and because of those factors alone, the risk you were taking and did it anyway.  If the owners are in a position to pay, they should offer, but the fact that you don't expect them to speaks volumes about your character. Actually, the entire incident does.

Holy cow!!! 

I hope that gets better soon.  That has to be especially annoying being bitten on your right hand.

  Now I know that hurts.  I used to do a lot of door delivery for a flower shop I work for.  Had many run ins  with dogs.  Not saying that you're wrong for what you did, cause I am a dog lover too.  I learned early you don't grab any strange dog. 

  Get well and good luck!

Oh! And I hope you feel better soon.

Probably because your sense of humor rarely intercedes with your sense of smugness and superiority.

I think you'd better re read some of these posts FTV and maybe you'd figure out most of what you're calling smugness and superiority stems from being put down and called names constantly for having a different opinion.  Hell, I can't even agree with anyone anymore without being called names and called a liar. Like I said, I'm gonna start firin' back in the same manner at some point and ya'll better be prepared to take what you dish out.

[Sandy Eggo]

I probably would have done the same thing.

Have committed similar actions in the past, and probably will in the future.

This isn't a surprise either. One of the many reasons I'm such a huge fan of someone I've never met.

Well, if you set aside the 'tude, reexamined some of your statements, admitted when you were wrong, and didn't play snotty and snarky with people who never called names (just pointed out horrible errors in thinking and gross contradictions in statements), you might get a little further, and people would find the humor that you claim you are inserting. Trouble is, some of your statements are so far out there, that I thought they were humor at first, only to find out later that you were serious.

I get confused.

But, then again, I'm not a right-wing conservative, so I'm naturally confused.

Damn Ex that does look nasty and terribly painful.  If that was before the infection took hold you must be in some serious pain.  All this stupid forum BS laid aside I admire you for what you did and for the way you treat your animals.  Hope that gets better soon.

Thank you.

Aww, shuck, ma'am (scuffs and shuffles feet) yer gonna make me blush.

Thank you.

If our little rat dog (pug, shih tzu, and miniature dachshund mix) ever gets out into traffic, I certainly hope someone like you is around.

I have a difference of opinion on some things and that is not an error in thinking it is a difference of opinion.  I do not like the way some people of the opposing political views have been put down, called names, had their kids made fun of and personally attacked rather than just disagreeing with their views.  I would do the same if someone where saying things like that about Michelle Obama and I definitely don't agree with her politics on most things or her husbands.  Calling a person an idiot is one thing but to be calling them whores, sluts, and some other various names I don't recall off hand and going after the family and kids is an entirely different matter.  I'm not particularly religious either but I don't put down people who are and call them names and try to shame them I accept the fact that they have a different belief and let it go.  Now there are some exceptions to that like that group that protests those funerals and the radical muslims but I still don't call them crude names or make fun of them.  People are raised different, have different life experiences, and what works for one doesn't work for all.  Why do you think 2 families have a hard time living together?  They each have their own way of doing things and what is right for one isn't for the other.  Just like politics, there will never be a time when every one sees the facts the same way or agree on everything.  If there is we are in trouble for sure.  This is not aimed at you but rather a general statement made out of frustration from seeing it done over and over in various threads. 
So what have I accomplished here by posting this?  Absolutely nothing probably and I've once again opened myself up for ridicule but, hey, what the heck I guess ya'll have to have someone to make fun of so it might as well be me.

FWIW, here's what the bite looked like before the infection really took hold.  The marks that look like little slits were made by the dog's molars so he had a pretty good grip on my arm for a second (70-80 lb. mixed breed dog).

Damn dude! I know that is hurting like hell! 

[damfast]

that arm looks terrible...sure hope it feels better soon!
