Tastes Great ... even to animals!

Apparently, one of the new canine arrivals at Pets Unlimited decided that her own chew toys weren't appealing anymore. So, I became her chew toy. :-/

Yes, while visiting with a dog named Minnie - a Sheltie/Pomeranian mix, things were going just fine. She liked me and I liked her. Then, I had the nerve to leave. Miss Minnie wasn't having any of this, apparently, as she tried to make a run for the door.

I put my foot up to try and block the door, while trying to slip out at the same time. Unfortunately, either my foot slipped and I accidentally stood on her paw, or she was pissed that I was leaving - but for some reason - she decided to sink her teeth into my foot. A couple of times.

At first, I thought she'd just nipped me, because it didn't look like the skin was broken. But the instant that I lifted my foot, it was obvious that she'd broken the skin. So, Minnie was cordoned off and taken to the basement, where she'll be kept separated from the general public from the next several days. I was taken aside to soak my foot in iodine, and to just regain my composure.


So, a few hours later, my foot is still quite sore and bandaged up. I'm going to do the "watchful waiting" thing, so if worsens - or shows no improvement - by Monday, I'll be calling the doctor or heading for Urgent Care to get it checked out, just to ensure that it isn't infected or whatnot.


Anywho ... that's my Saturday so far. I'm sure that I'll have more to write later. Granted, it's not as eventful this - but that's life, right? :)
