I'm just making an assumption since it is your dog and it was sleeping at the time. I'm guessing what happened with your sister's neighbor and her cat was more along the lines of soothing the neighbor and protecting the public good. But I honestly don't know, it just wouldn't even occur to me I couldn't go to the doctor over it, maybe it's true sounds a bit weird though. Do you think your dog need some kind of behaviorial training or something?

Yeah, I might get him into some behavioral classes. I think he might need them, he's gotten a little "big for his britches" - he nipped my kitty the other day. I used to have a little dog that wouldn't let anyone sit beside me, if they tried, he would bite them! I think this one's getting a little that way. He's so cute but he's feisty!

Gonna get him some classes though.....

Yep, sounds like some classes are in order. But you need to go on to the doctor and take care of yourself, it ain't a gunshot wound so I doubt they'd probe too much into what happened.

say you farted on bonnie's beastie???

THIS bit you?

I'm sorry, but ...

I know small dogs can be dangerous too, but it shouldn't really be difficult to re-stamp your authority on him - it's not like he can overpower you.

Plus, he probably just really was having a bad dream, so no real reason to worry.

Still, even though I know it doesn't help the discussion and will probably even have a negative effect on it, I'm all for protecting animal's right and shit, but dogs are so fucking stupid and gross, I'd never ever get one!

You should at least go to a clinic and have it looked at...God forbid you should get some nasty infection - and they can help minimize scarring.

I am not sure about the quarantine though.

Did you give the dog any sort of reprimand? I really hope so. You need to maintain your dominant position within the "family", and if he got away with this OR you are now afraid, he is now in a dominant position over you. You need to reverse that. If he so much as growls at you, a swift smack on the nose with a rolled-up newspaper should do the trick.

(Yes, I watch the Dog Whisperer show!...and I've had a few dogs of my own.)

Thanks PurpleJedi-

No, I didn't reprimand him- I never reprimand my animals and that's why they're a little spoiled. I really do consider them my children, but you're right- I need to let him know who's boss. When I told my son about it he said that once Mr. Jack Brown tried to bite him (the dog) and that he popped him on the nose and he never did it again. He said he never told me because he knew I would get upset that he bopped him on the nose.

The first time my dog bared her teeth at me; I grabbed a newspaper and wore that nose out. This is the most sensitive part of the dog's body. She never did it again and I've had her for a while. Dogs are like children, but would you let your child keep putting its hand in the fire? Sooner or later a pop on the hand or behind is needed to keep the child safe.

Its threads like this that make me feel less guilty about trying dog meat in Vietnam.

...well if you DO try the dog w/ plum sauce...I won't think any less of you.

As long as you photowhore.

Stop lyin! You know you had your face up in the dog's face and it got tired of you muggin him and decided to take matters into his on mouf.

I know, I know. I jes couldn't help myslef.

But for real, you should have your nose checked out by a physician just in case. You wouldn't want to "lose your nose to spite your face" now, would you? What if you get an infection. I know dogs' mouths are supposed to be cleaner than humans, even after all that balls licking, but you want to make sure everything is clean and tidy.

[Edited 5/11/12 12:52pm]

He used your nose as a chew toy and you're sending him to behavioral classes???

I'm an animal lover. Not really a huge dog person but I can tolerate them. I know most of us love our pets but if I had a dog that caused that much damage, his ass would be in the dog pound the next day!!!!

So many possible comments, so little time...

Your dog is an ANIMAL. It has ANIMAL INSTINCTS. It was, quite possibly, having a bad dream and bit you purely out of shock and surprise. Instinct. If you think otherwise, you should have the dog checked out.

Also, if your nose is swollen - go to a doctor. They don't have to know it was YOUR DOG that bit you. Duh. I mean, what's worse; questions about what bit you, or having to get parts of your face removed when an infection spreads?

Lastly... I only read about four responses. So apologies if the smart people of the org have already said these things, or the issue has been resolved.

This is why we don't let our pets into bedrooms and always close the doors.

Oh wow. I should have looked at the whole thread before.

I'd bite you if you put me in a sweater on a Pooh bed too.
