Got bitten today


I got bitten by a dog today. I just popped into a friends house to drop something off for them and got bitten by their Yorkie.
He just flew across the sofa and bite me and whats worse they thought it was funny. Okay he never drew blood but I have a bruise now.

What is it with small dog owners that think snappy dogs are funny.I actually felt sorry for the dog, he obviously has no rules.

oh no. Sorry to hear this Kazz.

I got bitten today too.... by a naughty kitten who was wormed & took it well & swallowed it, then took a chunk out of my hand. Naughty boy (it's the timid one out of the 13 week old ones)

That is terrible. I used to breed Chihuahuas and I would never have allowed such behaviour never mind think it was funny. My mum has 2 Chi's and the are very bossy but they are definitely not allowed to do things like that. The poor dog have such silly owners.

Hope your bruise is alright Karen.

Re: Got bitten today


Glad the dog didn't draw blood Kazz ....I'm disappointed with the owners making light of it though.

I'm not very keen on Yorkies either. A few years ago my daughter used to help with the shopping for an elderly neighbour two doors away from us. She took the shopping into the house as usual and the little Yorkie just flew at her and sunk it's teeth into my daughter's ankle. Sue was obviously upset and frightened and came home crying. My neighbour followed and she was even more upset that her dog did that and she insisted that we took Sue straight to the Health Centre and have a tetanus jab. The day after she brought round a box of chocolates for her.

My point being that no dog owner should make light of any incident when their dog grabs someone with its mouth, whether it draws blood or not..

Re: Got bitten today


They do not consider it serious I am not impatient or a non helpful person but, they literaly just laughed and said "Oh he won't let you sit on the sofa" all smug/proud like and I said "then why not say so before you invite people to sit down?" I admit I spoke in a sarcastic manner but I was walking out at the time. Not staying somewhere idiots live.
Mind you I get the feeling they are nervous of him too.

They are aquantiances really but I can feel myself getting angry thinking about it so can't see me "fighting a path to be friend"

Re: Got bitten today


How irresponsible to think it funny, no dog should bite, totally the owners fault!! makes me so angry!!!
Glad it was not too bad a bite Kazz, never the less it should not have happened..

Re: Got bitten today


Yorkies are often sparky little b****** aren't they?
Glad you're OK Kazz.

Re: Got bitten today


Glad the bite wasn't too bad, but I too am shocked at the attitude displayed by these people. And I agree, no point breaking down to door to be friends with people like that! Sounds like both dog and owners could so with some training (obedience and manners respectively)!
