Brief hits of excitement, mostly droll existence,,,
LOL Stop teasin’ us Dio
Alright, I hit the ‘excitement’ part first.
Bossman picked up a pup at the pound recently 6 months old or so, German Shepard build, all white fur w/brown eyes. I know there is a breed that fits that, but I can’t recall the name. Anybuggerss,,, Said dawg was on the loose this AM when we were prepping for work. Usually pretty good about staying inside the fence so none of us thought a thing about it.
Till we heard brakes on the highway and suddenly seeing stalled traffic up there. Son of Bossman jumps in the Kia to go up an check things out. Sho’nuff,,, theres said pup, scared shitless, but unharmed. He captures our truant and returns to shop.
Well, the excitement and confusion got the better part of puppers Flight or Fight response and when Son of went to pull the pupper out the car, Immeditate FIGHT scenario escalated. Son of Bossman has SEVERAL deep puncture wounds on his arm and hands. I heard the kerfluflle and ran to see if I could help, Jumped in (Son of had Dawgum pinned to ground but in a way he couldn’t do much else.) and grabbed up as much scruff as I could, got a little nip from small teefers, not the big canines in the process. Told Son of “I got him” so he could extract from things, and I could get dawgum off his feet, airborne, held by two double handfulls of scruff and cart his wayward scared and VIOLENT butt to the kennel. Burnout was there waiting at the kennel door and I tossed dawgum in HARD so he couldn’t get his feet under him fast and back in my face. And we slammed that kennel shut.
Least to say, Said pupper wore out his welcome with the Bosses. They haven’t returned him to the Shelter, YET, but I can see it coming. Fact is, This Dawgum is just way to high in energy for Bossman. The boy needs to runrunrunrun, and he hasn’t been getting enough of that. It came out in scared anger today. No one is mad at him: even Son of Bossman, who took the brunt of the attack was cool about it, after his adrenals had settled down. I know he was saying he was gonna see a Doc, and truly NEEDS to if he hasn’t (sooner is best, especially with puncture wounds. note: if you don’t have fast access to a doc in the event of dog bites FLUSH THE WOUNDS REPEATEDLY, Saline solutions work wonders. But do find some way of getting that solution in deep: a syringe with a long nipple or blunt needle works well. DO NOT bind the wound to closure, you need it to be able to express any fluid build up. and DO get you to a doc as soon as is possible. There are antibiotics you are going to need to keep the grimies from getting a hold inside you.)
And the rest of the day was a huge nothing burger and I’m quite happy for it. We deliverd those two, two-peice gates I made to be assembled on site. I assembled/welded one and we got it wired up and in position, but the day had grown short for me to carry over to the other. I’ll be back for it at some point soon. But thats about it for what my world was like.
Life goes on,,,,
