how fun that you were on vacation... hope you had a great time and were able to enjoy yourself! physically things have gotten worse here... I'm working on an update post for later in the week... but luckily i have riley to always help keep my mind diverted... even if it does take biting through my thumb to do it :-P

That's because you're... well, there's no other way to say this... a
bad-ass. Immune to pain... basically a super-hero. :)
Maybe not immune, but you're sooooo not the wimp I am!!

i had never heard of a dog chewing on a wall before i got Riley, but apparently it's not all that uncommon. this pup has taught me all sorts of things :)

i wondered about that, too... if they would be as bad as the others. so far he hasn't gotten sick or anything, and i'm throwing away the little pieces he breaks off to make sure he doesn't swallow to big of a chunk. they have been nice to keep him occupied while i've been more immobile, so i'm hoping they keep working for him.

hey, deb... at least now you have fair warning not to hold a bone for him when you're here for faith sharing :-[

he cracks me up regularly, too... certainly keeps life interesting [as if we needed help in that department]! :-P

ha!!! if there's one thing I'm not right now, it's boney... these steroids have put plenty of cushion on my bones...

now that i knew already... one time the mayor of our town came to my door [he lived in my building for awhile] and Riley tried to bite him. it was a proud moment....

aww... it's not so bad in the grand scheme of things :)

Re: Oh, That Dog . . .

gitz — Mon, 13 Jul 2009 21:02:37 -0000

yeah, it was a definite ouch - but it's fine as long as I keep it bandaged to give it some cushion. [I can't wait to see if logging you in worked and if you get this comment response in your inbox...]

Woah... hold on a minute... how in the love of all things holy did you manage to get bit through the nail by a SQUIRREL?!?!?! I'm assuming you weren't holding a nut for it to chew on like I was the bone??? :-P

And, for the record, i was thinking of you when I put up those last two photos... i knew you'd love them :*

he is a pure bred, but he acts like a mutt sometimes :) if it makes you feel any better, it was a pretty serious swear word =-X

you know, i never spontaneously vent like that, and i felt so bad afterward that i got people so worried over my stupid thumb. i always have the urge to vent, but then i have too big of an urge to reassure people afterward :) i'm weird that way, i guess!

as for typing... i'm trying to use my pointer finger to hit the space bar, but when i forget it stings a little :)

i think he could go outside if he was washed off afterward, but i can't imagine him letting anyone but me do that. his anxiety level rises pretty quickly when i'm out of sight.

I'm with Mark... Riley's head would implode! He'd either bark at everything or curl up next to you and not even get on the grass. :) I had a 5 hour episode yesterday morning and he got so freaked out by me being in pain and not letting him touch me that he started throwing up. I think bikes and animals and kids would give him a heart attack!

yeah I have a JR in an apartment. I've learned to spackle also and had accidental bites on my hands.

i know... i have to remind myself that he's not human sometimes, too... although i think he's much smarter than i even give him credit for...

i like the stinker quite a bit, too... bites and all...

i can't believe that happened to you, too!!! i can tell you, it won't happen to me twice. :) and yes, sadly, it barely registered on the pain scale... it more than registered on my frustration scale, though ;)

isn't that funny to see them sitting like humans? they are such funny little animals...

oh, the bones are great... you just have to be smart enough not to HOLD them for the dog...
