Foster Puppies!

As I mentioned in the comments on the last post, the new little dog bit me.

She was sitting on the sofa with my daughters, and my son walked over and petted her on the head. She growled at him, so I walked over to move her off of the couch.

I don't remember all of what happened, but my son said she bit me three times. I only have one tiny puncture wound on my finger.

But emotionally, I am not doing as well.

Tonight, I reached down to take a toy away from my dog, Janie, and just as I did, she jumped to her feet quickly. I had one of those awful shudders of fear go through me.

I used to be very afraid of dogs, so even though the dog was tiny, the biting thing was really one of my worst nightmares coming true.

I have definitely learned a good lesson, though. If a dog growls, I will take it seriously and back off.
