bite update

I went back to Instacare this morning to get one last check on my leg, as per doctor's instructions on Wednesday. I waited for about 40 minutes for a 2 minute visit, but it was reassuring to know that my leg isn't getting infected and is healing nicely. I took the above picture when I got home. It's still pretty sore, though the actual puncture wounds don't hurt as much as the surrounding, bruised area.

The last we heard from Animal Cotrol is that both dogs are in quarintine until May 2nd. On that date, the owner can pay $1200 plus the citaiton fee to get his dogs back. However, if the dog who bit me has any other previous bites in his history, he will be put down. I'm desperately hoping the later happens because I would hate to have another accidental incounter with "Boozer."




Yesterday we kept a low profile in the house because I was nervous that the owner would have figured out it was us who reported the dogs. I kept the blindes shut all day (I know, maybe a little too dramatic, but I'm kind of a "worst case scenario" kind of girl). Erich played on his little mat (shown above) for a little bit while I cleaned his room and (finally) put laundry away. Then, when I was done with that, I put him on his tummy for "tummy time." He was slightly upset about this. He's already been lifting his head quite a bit when he's been on his tummy, but as I was sitting next to him watching to see what he'd do, he lifted his head and began screaming. Then, kind of by default, he rolled over onto his back. I say "default" because his screaming and wiggling just happened to cause him to roll over...I don't think he did this on his own. It was still pretty cute.
