It's pretty sore today. <br /><br />Just to be on the safe side, I'll see a doctor this afternoon. I'm sure he will give me some antibiotics just as a precaution. <br /><br />I too, have never seen anything like that "old" gas station in the picture. I thought it was pretty unique. You only see things like this when you're out on a ride and moving at a slow pace. I thought it would be a neat picture to share. I'm glad you like it.Jspikerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14751088160139882564noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3156518320909350372.post-43739997467936475282010-09-27T02:37:33.927-07:002010-09-27T02:37:33.927-07:00Hello John, I'm living at the country side her...Hello John, I'm living at the country side here in the Netherlands. And have been bitten by a real mean dog years ago. Been to the doctor immidiatly for a vaccination. Though dog may be killed when this happens in the city here in the Netherlands. They don't care over here at the county side. Although a few weeks ago I heard of police officer here in the neighbourhood, he shot his own dog when it seriously bit his daughter in her face. So, I don't like dogs....more of a cat figure. By the way I like the picture of the 1931 gasstation. 73, BasPE4BAS, Bashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12958141238330445285noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3156518320909350372.post-46859730767968253422010-09-26T10:18:49.875-07:002010-09-26T10:18:49.875-07:00Hello John, heavy!

It not my intention to frighten you, but you should take it serious. I saw people with a MOF (multi organ failure) after a dog bite. When someone is serious bitten by a dog in the Netherlands, the police will shoot the dog. Take care, 73 Paul<br /><br />*** post somehow deleted in error. Sorry about that Paul.

I do take it quite seriously and wil...Hello Guys, <br /><br />I do take it quite seriously and will watch the leg closely for infection. But I hate to see any family pet "put down" over a "territory dispute". Whether it be a dog, cat, coyote, wildcat, or bear; this behavior is all too common. <br /><br />I was in their "space" and should have recognized the potential danger sooner.<br /><br />I failed to mention that I worked with a search and rescue group once and got to know dogs very well. <br />My "X" was a wildlife biologist and was quite an expert with "cat" body language. We once hiked close to a pair of mating wildcats without a confrontation. <br /><br />I also came face to face with a good size female bear one time. She swatted her baby cub on the rear end which scurried trough a rhododendron thicket. The pink on the cubs feet really startled me on that one. We faced off for what seemed forever until I finally dropped my head slightly. She did the same and then I slowly took a step backwards. She did the same and then followed the cub. <br /><br />My current wife and I observed a Moose and her two calf s in Alaska once. The important thing to remember here is to always keep a large tree between you and the Moose. <br /><br />Really...I'm embarrassed at this incident. Fido was just making a statement and intended me no real harm. But he did take advantage of his friends distraction and I'll never forgive him for that.<br /><br />Thanks for your concern.Jspikerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14751088160139882564noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3156518320909350372.post-58257175919725270052010-09-26T00:25:35.570-07:002010-09-26T00:25:35.570-07:00John, I am sorry to learn of this incident.

Supposing they will keep the dog tied up for a bit wouldn't reassure me. A shotgun and quick burial in the back 40 would eliminate the offending animal.<br /><br />Please be careful.Dickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10984094559146508871noreply@blogger.com
