Mom Kim here - in that Flashback Friday post earlier today, I had a couple of comments asking why the bites. And then I realized something - it's not just about the bites - it is also how we hear about them - how are the bites described and what dog is involved. The picture above is me and the Cocker Spaniel PUPPY that was involved. The Westie I talked about - also a PUPPY about the same age.This puppy and the Westie puppy were playing - tussling - I started hearing some whimpers and growls and I saw some nipping so being the worry-wart that I am - I intervened and ended up putting my hand in whatever was going on - trying to separate the 2 puppys which is how I got bit - it wasn't a bad bite, hardly bled AND IT WAS TOTALLY MY FAULT!
I also had no real idea who it was that bit me.
Now as for the YorkiPoo I mentioned-
my own Angel Oreo
Now remember, I wrote that post back in 2008-
I have no idea what happened-
don't remember when that happened.
Maybe it was under the same circumstances as the other, maybe it happened when Angel Oreo was playing with puppy Shiloh-
I have no recollection of it.
Ok - that's all - I was just thinking about that.
Like maybe the way media portrays a dog bite-
has something to do with public reaction.
