Battle scars...

[ht_murray]

I got bitten by dogs again while running. Same dogs. Same neighbors. Dan's kinda pissed.

I love dogs, but my patience is wearing thin. :/





Hard to tell, but that's about an inch and a half across high up on my calf just below my knee. Little bugger. :S

And then I came back to find this:







I think maybe the universe is conspiring to make me a cat person.

oooo ouch... is the dog healthy though? I mean it isn't going to give you anything is it?

Awww kitty... what's his name...

Rofl, I love the cat. He's all like "Rub me now!"

I'm sorry about the dog biting you. A nice strongly worded letter should do the trick. And the threat of a gun. Not the dog, the idiots who own him.

I'm sorry you got bit by a dog on your run. That sucks...and hurts, no doubt.

Speaking as a cat person, though, there is no other animal on the face of the planet that can look cuter/more content while sleeping than a cat. Your photos are adorable.

Just sayin'.

cats are much better. They don't slobber all over you. And they know how to use a litter box.

Aw, I'm sorry, darling!

That's horrible, what if they were to bite a small child? Don't these people have a brain???

Dogs biting people to me is just completely unacceptable! =(
Your cat is adorable though! <3

If the dogs are leaving the property to attack you, I'd say you're being kind of cavalier about it. Not sure where you live, but most places have some kind of leash laws. You do have the right to access a public road without being assaulted. I think I'm angrier than you are!

What above poster said. :/

(But. CATS. YES.)

That looks painful *winces*

Maybe if you threatened to sue them, they would change their minds about letting the dogs run loose. I know some states have a 3 strikes law for biting dogs. After the third bite, they are considered dangerous to humans, and the owners can be made to surrender them for euthanasia as well as found negligent and made to pay damages. I know you probably wouldn't want that to happen, but the neighbors won't know that, and you could put the fear of God into them.

Good grief, that's scary. And looks painful. I do understand about not wanting to provoke the neighbors, though. That's never a good plan, even if they don't attempt to control their animals. I vote for one of those thingies ldyghstwhisprer linked to. Man, be safe, okay?

Uhm, now, I realise that the owners are the ones who are at fault here (the dogs shouldn't run loose and there's obviously been no proper training) but those dogs should probably be put down. Most of the time there really is no going back on stuff like this... next thing you'll know they're gonna bring down a child.

Anyway, ouch. Please be careful!

ouch!!!! (kitty hugs u!!)

I know you're an animal lover but I know in the UK, if an dog bites someone the owner can be taken to court. If the dog makes a habit of it it can be taken away and destroyed. Unfair, true, but there are a lot of cases of dogs mauling kids and really irresponsible owners.

I think most dogs - like kids - are good. It's their upbringing that sucks.

x Take care hon, I bet you didn't realise running was so dangerous.

[chocca2.livejournal.com]

People really let there dogs loose unattended? Not on at all *shakes head* Neither are biting dogs. That dog deterrent looks like a good idea.

I was JUST thinking about you today, fyi.

Dude!!! WTF was it? A hellhound?? Is it going to be ok and why the hell don't the owners do something?? I hope you're ok!!!!

And seriously...how frickin' adorable is the furball? Lol.

[starry-ice.livejournal.com]

Ouch.. that looks painful. I hope it healed ok.

LOL your cat is hilarious. My cat has very similarly silly poses in sleep. I'm glad photography is digital now because I can only imagine the number of film roles we'd have gone through by now...
