On New Year's Eve, I was about to take Boeing out for his nightly walk when he spied some movements under the bush opposite our house. I was holding his leash in my left hand and opening the gate with my right. Without warning, he just sprinted out pulling my left hand and smashing it on one side of the half-open gate. My left index finger was sliced open near the knuckle by the leash that was still in my hand. The pain was so bad that I nearly fainted and had to grab the iron gate for support. I had to drive myself to the hospital to get my finger sewn up. The nurse said it could have been nastier if the vein and the tendon had been severed. Well...six stitches on the ugly gash /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/frown.gif . (Last time it was a four-stitch cut on my nose.)

Makes me wonder sometimes how a lot of force and energy can be packed into that little body /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/confused.gif

Thank you all!! The finger is healing nicely. Now, Boeing seems very interested in my bandaged finger; he keeps sniffing it and licking his lips. I just hope he won't bite it off when I'm unaware /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/laugh.gif .
