Gotta Love Dogs
I don't understand why the photos I link from blogger work only for a little while: Anyway, here is the link to the image that is supposed to show up:

Now that I have everybody's attention: There's only two things that really scare me with small kids. Doors slamming on tiny little fingers, and... you guessed it... Dogs.
People think I'm crazy because I freak out when my kid gets within 10 feet of a dog and act like an overprotective mother hen. Well... I wish I have been there to freak out and embarrass myself Saturday.
I have a dog. My dog did not do this. A "family" dog did this. A "family" dog that has never bit anybody before. You put small kids and dogs together and bad things happen. They do not understand each other. Why doesn't anybody else realize that?
This time it was 13 stitches and hours of emergency rooms and pain and crying. This time they managed to find all of his lip and sew it back together. This time won't require years of reconstructive facial surgeries.
Next time it could be your kid. Or your dog. So leash your dog or leash your kid, whichever one you are in charge of, because it's not gonna be worth it.
