Awww Narilyn! Not fun. Hope you feel better very soon, and I understand
about the low threshold of pain! Ug, once it starts hurting, all I want to
do is stop it, and it doesn't neede to be very much pain. Yup, doggie teeth
can be oh so dangerous when it comes to food, especially if one is a little
piggy and one is not. Piggy dog says I'll take what no eater doesn't want
thank you very much!
How have you been doing since Sandy? Didn't you break a finger right after
that or am I thinking of someone else, which is most probable, (smiley). If
you were the one who broke a finger, your poor hands are sure taking a
beating. Please feel better soon, and there is no need to write privately.
Save those poor hands.
Warmly, Reggie

Good afternoon, All.
I'll keep this short and sweet. If you're really in the mood for some comic
relief, write to me off-list at mmbeagle@xxxxxxxxx and I'll fill in all the
gory and very, very embarrassing details.
Only Myself to Blame: I have two very small yappy-type dogs, Shih-Tzus,
they weigh 15 pounds soaking wet, each. One really enjoys eating, the other
can take it or leave it. From time to time, I feed them fruit. Some fruits
I feed them with a fork (smart) but when I feed them oranges, which they
like a lot, I feed them by hand (dumb, dumb, dumb). So, White Dog gets a
section of orange, and she scrapes my fingers in her zeal. I say, "Hey,
don't bite me, don't bite the hand that feeds you." The apathetic dog needs
his section on a plate, where he will smell it for a while, may take it away
to eat, may leave it there. So, the three of us take turns getting a
section of orange. It's the White Dog's turn, I reach down with a section
and--YOUCH! Again, to make the story short, I'll leave out all the gory
details, but they're really gory. But, yep, the White Dog bit me. On the
ring finger of the right hand. That's why I couldn't type for about a week.
This happened a week ago Saturday. I spoke to the doctor the following
Monday, he tells me it's too late for him to do anything, but if I had come
in right when it happened, he could have stitched me up. (Yeah, sure, like
you're open on Saturday nights.)
Now they get their fruit on a plate, on the floor, where I delicately drop
the food from a safe distance. Once a day I get the bandage changed and
that's where the screaming comes in. It really hurts when hubby changes the
bandage. But it feels so much better after.
I will now go through my e-mail and send individual e-mails to people I owe
some work to. If you're one of these people and you don't hear from me this
afternoon, please, please write to me to remind me what I'm supposed to be
doing for you. I have a very low pain threshold and it may have been lost
in the craziness of a dog bite and three Thanksgiving dinners (stress,
stress, stress).
Thank you all for your patience.
Gratefully,
Marilyn
