Saturday night I was in the garage working on the vacuum cleaner. Remmy (one of our pits) was laying by my feet. I notice his ears and head popped up. He got up and walked to the edge of the garound following the sidewalk to the front door. I followed making it about half way to the corner when I heard Remmy start barking in a tone I've never heard. By the time I could see what was going on I heard another different kind of barking and knew it wasn't him. " Oh ____" I thought. Another dog had came in to our yard, maybe spooked Remmy. Remmy wasn't having it. They were in to it before I could grab Remmy.
Being the idiot at the time, I grabbed them both by the collar and pulled at them both. Remmy had the dog and wasn't letting up. I yelled at Remmy and pulled hard. I split them up. I had my steel toe boots on and kicked the dog in the ribs which make it reevaluate it's life decisions. I bring Remmy in, he's licking me all over my face. I think it's him bleeding because his underside is white (Blue and White). Then it notice it's me bleeding. Sometime while getting them to split up I manage to get bite, not once but twice! Both hands.. Went to the urgent care to talk about rabies shot and get it cleaned out and meds. A/C calls me later because the doctors have to legally report it.
Next day, I did end up finding the owners. They where nice and apologized. They were about the same age as my wife and I. Basically told me to fix their darn fence, we also came to a agreement. I saw the paper work for their dog and it is all up to date on it's shots. Called the vet Monday morning, to confirm.
Now there is Louisville slugger bat by that corner of the garage. Next time I'll come out swinging
I taught Remmy to be protective of my wife, for when I'm not home. This is the first time he has defended his home and me. I must say I'm proud of him. Both dogs are fine....just me that got messed up.
two large open wounds and multiple teeth punchers
Told people at work I'm gearing up for the holiday shopping season.
