Oh E :(
I always forget how dangerous you job can be. I hope your arm heals up soon and that it's not too painful. *hugs*

It seems to have been a week for it--I had a cat go off on one yesterday, and the only reason I'm just bruised (on my left arm ahahaha) is because I had on the shoulder-length heavy-duty gauntlets.

At least with the cat, I was expecting it to go off like that (it'd already swiped at me from the kennel, and had been swearing up a storm for the preceding ten minutes); this dog just went with no warning, which is always fun for the amount of adrenaline that dumps into your bloodstream.

And, eh, I'll heal up, with only about a week's worth of whinging about an inability to do a bunch of stuff. More of a problem is that I was already leary of the ability of Other Nurse to effectively restrain animals that are full-out going off (she...has obvious nerves about approaching potential GFTTs, and doesn't clearly signal if she's going to drop the hold--not in any way saying that she shouldn't drop the hold if keeping it is going to get her injured, but more that she's, well, quiet at the best of times, and doesn't do what me or, say, B do,

It's a wonder you don't spend your whole day in full protective clothing (maybe something in kevlar ...) but I guess that would be all sorts of impractical and over the top :/
Here's hoping that you bad luck this week means that you'll be lucky for months to come :)

I googled Northern Inuits and they're beautiful dogs, but sheesh they're basically about one generation away from pure wolf. It's no wonder they cast them as dire wolves.

99% of the time, my reflexes save me - now if only they'd translate outside of the very specific realm of no, I don't think I want my face nommed off today, I could have a brilliant alternate career as a trick magician or some kind of athlete *g*

Yeeeeah, this dog pretty much looked like a gangly wolf (it wasn't even fully grown), but it still weighed in at about 37kg.
