When grandson David got up, we had breakfast and went to Urgent Care in town. I was the only one there, but it still took quite a while to be seen. The paperwork took forever. I was glad the receptionist told me they are required to report all dog bites and was happy to fill out two pages of forms for that.
The doctor cut off the flap of skin, put antibiotic on the open wound, and bandaged it with pretty blue tape. A nurse gave me a tetanus shot, and I was free to go. I looked more fashionable going out than coming in.
Neighbors, family, friends, and bloggers contacted me, offering advice and support. To everyone, thank you.

I carried a cane with me today while passing the house with the dogs. After getting past that property, I laid the cane in the grass and picked it up on the way back.

No, the wound is not painful!! I took a shower today for the first time since the bite, and the stinging was sharp. That soon went away. I’ve hardly noticed it the rest of the day.

It was the proper thing to do, and this will alert the shelter that a vicious animal needs to be observed.

What a nightmare! As a child I was attacked by two Labradors who wandered on my route home from school. It is such a helpless feeling. I am glad you got the bite attended to and hope the dogs are caged or otherwise made safe for your walks.

Your dog attack was much more serious than mine. Were the Labs contained after that?

That’s good that you found another way home
Everyone on our street has to pass the house with the dogs. It’s the first house on the dead end street. We can accept the dog when it is on a leash, but the woman thinks she can control it with her voice. She can’t. I’ll never know why I was bitten, because as soon as I saw the dog, I stood stock still. I had no other defense.

Anne, please tell me they checked that the biting dog had its rabies shot and let you know that you don’t need to get the rabies vaccine.

The men went to the house, but they didn’t get in. Maybe they can trace the dog from the address. The problem is, we think the dog that attacked me does not live there. It lives with the woman who lets the dogs out. They are probably checking on the wrong dog.

Another blogger took the dog’s side. She said problems with dogs are almost always caused by humans. That may be, but our neighbors and I feel we should be protected from the dog.
