Talk about stupid.

Hmmm. My font seems to have gotten smaller for some reason.....

Nope--now it's fixed itself.

Wow. I have no explanation.

Oh dear. Hope the bite wasn't too bad.

Alex got a taste of that from Toby last week. He came up on him from behind and plopped right down next to him. Toby whipped around and snapped at him. He left two long scratches from his teeth on Alex's ribs and tore the t-shirt he was wearing. I've been telling Alex over and over to move slowly and make plenty of noise when approaching Toby. His sight continues to get worse and his arthritis was really bothering him last week. Toby could have easily bitten his face and done some damage. I made Alex understand what could happen. He's been a lot more careful since then.

Uhoh, I hope it's not too bad. Err maybe now he's learned his lesson?

I sympathize with you Blanche. It doesn't matter how many times I tell my husband not to give Peyton anything to eat without crating Leo, he still does it. Leo wouldn't go after Peyton or her food but if one of the other pugs got near her while he was guarding, we'd have a pug fight. I hope your husbands bite wasn't too bad.

I've got nothing for you, Blanche. I'm married to the guy who stuck his fingers in Leo's mouth while he was chewing a bone and then complained when Leo bit him. And when I asked him why he would do something like that, his answer was, "I dunno."

Ouch! I hope his bite isn't too bad.

As to the severity of the bite, let's just say he's lucky it was a shin tzu and not a mastiff. He has four punctures on his cheek.

I NEVER put my face into the face of any dog I don't know really, really well and even then I'm cautious. And a blind/deaf dog--it's just asking for a bite.

With men's brains statistically larger than ours, it just goes to show that use a MUCH smaller percentage of grey matter than we do. As you say Blanche, glad it wasn't a mastiff...

Oh Lordy. What can I say?

I had almost stopped laughing at this and then I read it again...oh Saira, thanks for the giggle! Men, learning their lessons ??? Ahh-ha, funny stuff!

Poor Gordon.. Ya think he'd learn by now, heh? I'm just finding this, so I hope he's feeling better... give both of them a hug (and Gordon an extra spank) from me.

He's fine--we cleaned the bites thoroughly and put antibiotic ointment on them. they were fine within a couple of hours. He's still madly in love with the shih tzu, thankfully--since he's likely here for a long time if not forever.

Tell him he can come over anytime and stick his face in Odins face, he loves it. It's attention, any attention is good for Odin. He may only sustain a big wet sloppy kiss!

LOL--I should have used another breed! In my experience, most mastiffs are pretty happy to have the chance to wash your face. There's a mastiff in the local dog park who makes it a point to share his drool with me at every opportunity.

Yes, Odin loves to share in the drool!!! I always wonder if there is another use for it for which I could make some money!!! I doubt it.

One of the very few things that will make me gag is watching my pugs eat the drool that drops off of Guinness's face. Just makes me ill--I can't even watch it.

Years ago there was a Shih Tzu on the place. It came from a shelter who did its best. But the small animal was vicious, filthy and unplaceable. It was so mean, and so focused on blood letting that to capture it the pound master dropped a noose on its neck and lifted the maddened dog from the concrete run like a perch on a pole. I said I would take it if he could get it in my truck. The dog hated its life, the pound, the noose, me and the truck. Fifty dollars later we were on our way, the dirty Shih Tzu lunging and snapping at every opportunity. Nothing slowed it down. It drew blood once, twice, three times or more that night. It's owner wanted it returned to the pound, but couldn't catch it long enough to cage it. By morning, having made its point, the Shih Tzu joined the breakfast line, balancing its tray in its forepaws and passing the time of day at the table. It lived a long and productive life, but only on its own terms. When it passed, we dug a deep hole not far from the hybrid irises--Hammer, who would enrich the prairie sod in later years, was so fascinated by what we were doing, that he fell into the open grave and had to be lifted out.
