Have your parents ever been injured by their pets or an animal not their own?
Have your parents ever been injured by their pets or an animal not their own?
Actually, I asked this question just to tell a story.
All three have to do with my Dad.
He was breaking up a fight between his doorg and another and his dog put his tooth right through the webbing between my Dad's thumb and forefinger.
Once while riding his book at little dog ran at him, and kept goiing and my Dad hit it and went over the handlebars skinning his forearms from wrist to elbow
Finally, on Saturday, he was talking to a woman who had a pitbull on the leash. The pitbull went to jump on him in a non-threatning way. The woman pulled back on the leash, pulling the dog down, then it lunged forward betwen his legs, the woman yanked on the leash again and the dog's giant, bulbous head, jerked upwsrd crushing my Dad's naughty bits.
He stepped back and bent over to catch his breath.
The infuriated woman said "what, are you scared of my dog?"
Many many years ago Gail was in Italy on a cycling holiday with friends. A dog ran out from behind a high wall into the cyclist directly in front of her. He stopped abruptly and Gail crashed into him and fell against the wall. She was mildly concussed and a kind passing motorist picked her up and took her taken to the local hospital for treatment (including stitches). She says it was interesting later to see whether people asked after her, the dog, or her bicycle!
ReplyDeleteour dad by a wild dog who attacked Easy... and the mama by a shitzu... needed 3 stitches... a little bit embarrassing for the mama we think...
ReplyDeleteYour poor dad, Ruby. Mom has been lucky so far.
ReplyDeleteUGH! People can be awful to others while they allow their pets to do harm.
ReplyDeleteYikes, your poor Dad! I've been bitten by cats more that once over the years!
ReplyDeleteYour dad sure has had some bad outcomes with dogs. That last one not really being the dog's fault. Our parents haven't had any serious incidents with pets except when our mom was very young she had a friend who had a cat that would attack her feet under the covers of the bed while she was sleeping. The only thing she suffered was some minor pokes thanks to the bedding protecting her.
ReplyDeleteGood reply would have been
ReplyDeleteNo lady I'm scared of his owner. As I often hear there are no bad dogs just bad owners.

Mom once intercepted one of her Huskies taking offense with another one of the family - and she still has a flat spot/divot on/in her left forearm - with a small white scar - Mom had to go to work - even though she really couldn't use that arm at the time - but by working thru it at work, she regained use of it - have I mentioned she's not a 'go to the doctor/hospital' type?
