Dog park Mayhem.

This happened last year. Baye and I went to the dog park. I was really excited for him to get a good run in. He loves the dog park. Well when we got there no other dogs were there. He ran around and peed on everything there. twice. When i was getting ready to pack up another dog came in. What looked like a white german shepherd. I grabbed baye by the collar and waited for the lady to get her dog inside and shut the gate. she smiles and said hi as did I. What happened next totally flip floped my day. Her dog attacks baye. We broke them apart and I get my leash out. She said would you like to try that again. I dont think they got to properly meet. i said sure and i only said sure because baye is a lovey dog. His best friend for gosh sakes is a small dog that has loads of energy. Takes lots for him to get annoyed and still he wont hurt a fly. So We let them sniff each other. Baye is good and happy smelled the white dog and was ready to just run around. So i took him off his leash she let go of her pup and i figured things were good. Her dog ran up to baye and attacked AGAIN. This time was a more aggressive. baye wasnt biting her dog he was just growling as if he was the wiser of the 2 and knew that this type of behavior wasnt acceptable. Well i was the first to step in. I grabbed baye and went to push her dog away when it bit me. And im not talking nip i mean full blown bit me. I threw my brain for a loop. Baye went insaine. It was like a switch being flipped. im guessing he saw it and instantly went into protection mode. Id never seen him like that before and honestly never want to again. We separated the two dogs and she says to me. Im sorry he tends to be aggressive. HELLLO STUPID ITS A PUBLIC DOG PARK. No aggressive dogs aloud. Apparently that rule doesnt apply to her dog. I hook baye to his leash and notice blood on him and alot of it. This was when my heart sunk. All i could think of was boo boo is hurt and its basically my fault. I do a quick check to see where all this blood was coming from. When i noticed it was all over me too. but wait it wasnt his blood all over me, No it was my blood all over him. When her mutt bit me it bit me hard and deep. Threw my muscle and caused loads of bleeding. I grabbed our junk and start the walk home. The lady said nothing. Im almost positive she saw i was bleeding lets not mention the blood drops that landed on the concrete. by the time i got home my adrenaline was pumped up i was shaking and scared that if i was bleeding that meant baye must have too because he took the brunt of it. Not caring about my wound i check baye. He had some cuts and some blood but nothing too bad. i threw on some peroxide and tripple antibiotic, and then came the time for my boo boo. I grabbed some rubbing alcohol, paper towels, and head for the bathroom. Sure enough this thing was deep. And pretty bloody. I put rubbing alcohol in the hole. Dabbed up the blood around it and notice all the bruising surrounding the bite. In my head im thinking, Well i can wait to see if i need to hit up the ER letting infection set in and maybe cause more issues than needed or i can just go. Who knows maybe all i need is a band aid. I dont like hospitals and i dont like doctors. But this was something i figured i should head in for. Lets not mention the pain setting in around my arm. I text my dear friend and tell her i think i might need to go to the hospital. Her knowing how i am with docs says shed be right there. And she was. I had enough time to kiss baye on the forehead give him a treat and tell him i love him I Head outside to smoke a cigarette and half way through there she was. Eric was on duty and had no idea what was going on with his wife. We head for trippler and it was pretty packed sat there for ten minutes and instantly got moved to my own place. I was set to have xrays taken to see if my bone was chipped or fractured. No issue there. So then im sent to get some pain killers up stairs from the pharmacy that was close to closing. I get them and head back down to be cleaned out. They numb my arm up and clean the wound. im told that if stitches arnt an absolute necessity they wont do them due to the bacteria that festers in a dogs mouth. So i got stitch tape and and loads of gauze. The place some pads on my arm. Wrap it with gauze wraps and then place an ace bandage on it. Im told my muscle has a nice hole in it and that limited movement of my arm is best so it can heal quicker. its been probably about 6-7 months since this happened and my arm has healed very well. only thing i have is a Gnarly scar. Thanks to my friend becky it wasn't as bad as it could have been if i waited and let the bacteria take control of my insides. And thank you to baye who protected his mommy. Love him!!!
