Oh Boy!! Definitely made a mistake this time.

Buddy here ....
Well - you could say it has been an interesting week or so.  I really got myself into trouble this time and it's taken quite a while for Mum to even speak nicely to me at all.  

Really though - it wasn't ALL my fault!  No really ... it wasn't, I swear!  She is always threatening to 'deal' with me - so how was I to know??  I call it self defence - I think she called it a 'vicious' attack.  (Drama Queen ... and no, I'm not going to say that out loud where she can hear me)

What happened was - she decided that we needed a bath - some complaint about dust, dirt and ants. I found myself in a sink of soapy water with a running tap.  Now seriously, wouldn't you be a little worried about drowning??  Especially as there was no Dad to protect me?  

Anyway, a couple of little nips didn't stop her, and the water was getting closer to my face so I panicked, and in self defence latched onto her arm.  I got a good grip as well - she had to force my jaws open.  I escaped and took off and she had a tea towel on her arm to stop the bleeding.  

The long and short of it was she had to go to the Emergency department at the Hospital and ended up with some huge antibiotic tablets for a week.  Her arm still got a bit infected anyway.  Luckily she didn't need a tetanus shot - or she might have come home and really drowned me.  Apparently also lots of people have been saying 'Poor Buddy' which hasn't been well received. 

So .. what have we learned from this??  I've learned to not come running every single time she rattles the food bowls.  She says she has learned to wear welding gloves and have backup support!  

And we are back on speaking terms again!  She's stopped snarling at me and even cuddled me last night.
