My hubby (Jim Hall) was playing w/ a puppy over the weekend and like so often happens his thumb was nicked by a tooth. We've all been nicked, had 'over eager' baiters, etc. It's just part of dog life. Yesterday he was mentioning on his way to work that his hand was aching a bit and he felt like he was getting a cold. We just figured he had a cold starting and he just hurt his hand at some point. Well, from that point to the time he got to work, his thumb had swollen and became very red and he could hardly move his thumb.>>>>>>>>>> GOOD GRIEF EDIE!!!!! IS HE OKAY? ARE YOU OK? Wow, who would ever think a big guy like Jim could have such a seemingly small thing, bring him to a screeching halt? I knew that cat bites are very serious, but Puppies???? Scary. Give Jim a Hug and YOU! and tell him to quit screwin' around trying to scare us all, lol ;-) Love to you both, keep us apprised of how he is feeling ok?
