Dog bites leg

April 25th, 2009 · 5 Comments · dave, random

Lucy escaped from our backyard on Monday while Dave was mowing the lawn. When he went out trying to find her he met another dog…

A bigger one.

With sharp teeth.

He was riding his scooter, and apparently spooked the dog.

The owner of the dog was really nice about it, and very apologetic. She told us that the dog was current on his shots and is usually very gentle. She felt really bad and even gave Dave a note and some chocolates apologizing for everything.

He (Dave) ended up getting a tetanus shot on Monday afternoon. And spent all day Tuesday dizzy, shaking, with a headache, etc… Not so fun stuff. All apparently uncommon side effects of the shot. Thankfully he was feeling significantly better by Wednesday morning – otherwise the doctor would have had to investigate the possibility of rabies. *gulp*

So far, so good on that front. Hopefully it never comes to that.

He still doesn’t appreciate the H2O2 I have to pour on the bite daily. But we have to keep it clean.

    Kind of makes me wonder if I do “Dave-style” blog posts if the Google Ads would get more interesting…

    Here are a couple ideas I have in the works:
    1- iPhone Development
    2- Marble Blast Ultra
    3- Synergy
    4- Yard Care
    5- Stack Overflow
    6- LOST
    7- Shinro
    8- Directory Creator
    9- Wings3D
    10- Ladder of Inference
    11- Blue Ocean Strategy
    12- XNA Development
    13- openVPN
    14- Christmas light testing/debriefing
    15- Pressure Washing
    16- Weight Loss
    17- Graduation
    18- Car Washing
    19- Netflix
    20- Crucial’s Memory Analyzer

    There are a lot more random topics worth yacking about, but this list will suffice.

    How do you think Google’s ad words would react to those posts?

    You forgot the post about your trip to Europe.
