Very regrettable, but it happened. Friend of the family stopped by to get something from my wife. Some exchange took place between her and the dog, after she got out of her vehicle. She ended up getting bit on the leg. Bad enough, we had to run her to the ER. I insisted that she tell the truth about what happened. Minutes later, the law shows up. As a good friend of the family, she doesn't want to press charges, so the law stands down. I'd say when her health insurance finds out it was a dog bite, a bill will show up at my house. Homeowners might pay, but I've got a huge deductible (I'm riding out a bad streak, lucky to even have insurance). Very thankful, that no more came of it. Still remains to be decided, if it'll cost me any cashola or not.
Honestly, had no idea that the dog would bite. Sorry it happened to her, just thankful it wasn't a child.
Not sure what to do about the dog? Best dog it ever was (you know how that goes). Part of me thinks well, she was trying to get him to smell of her, and hopefully quit barking. Maybe nobody else will do that. No real assurance what a visitor will do. I will definitely put him up when someone is over. I can't monitor that 100%. Sometimes people come over when your not around.
Not blaming her, and I hope nobody else does. Some might blame me, and that's fine to. I live back off the road aways, and just didn't have this kind of situation on my mind. I don't mind to tie him, when somebody is over. I have zero interest in tying him all the time---------Does that make me bad?
What do others do with a dog that has a history of biting? I don't want anybody hurt. I also don't want my stuff stolen. Maybe it's not as big of a dilemma as I'm making of it. Can't justify waiting to see if he does it again. I was home, when it happened, but not close. Only one of my kids was there. Maybe the dog was protecting her? Maybe the dog is an idiot, and needs put up? I'm not going to have anything I can't enjoy. Truly stumped here. Or, is it obvious to everybody but me?
Daddy thinks if you get bit by dog, it's your fault. I'm trying to make it the new millennium. Even if that mentality is true (not saying it is). That thought process won't take you very far in 2016. Might get somebody hurt to.
