What a fucking day!

What a fucking day! And I hadn't even planned to be awake yet! 😳

A stray dog on a chain came around because Maya was in heat. Shaun's neighbor lady got the dog by the chain and had him tied to her tree so that Maya could get away from him. But we had to get him off her tree and tie him to Shaun's for a while. She had company coming over and couldn't handle him. Shaun called me at like 8 this morning for me to come and get Maya. She is now in Munford at my mom's until her spay on Monday.

We looked around the neighborhood for the owner of the dog, but couldn't find anyone. It was a husky looking dog dragging a LONG ass chain. He did not seem well-socialized at all. But if he lives on a chain - go figure, right? Shaun called Animal Control because what else do you do? He would at least be held for 7 days for someone to claim him.

I gave him food and water while we had him tied up. I got close to him, but I didn't make eye contact, come at him straight on, or move suddenly. Shaun gave him a bone and then was re-filling the dog's water later when he said he started seeming all friendly. That's when Shaun tried to pet him and got bitten. I wasn't there. I was driving Maya around at that time.

After he was bitten, but before Animal Control showed up the owner came and got him. Turns out that Mr. Bitey Dog is named Soldier. The owner SAID he had his shots, but who really knows. I think Shaun should get a shot anyway. He's always getting bitten by dogs lately. 😳

It's been a fiasco.

Blegh. Boo for dog stuff that is hard. I miss the days of throwing everyone together in the dog room and having it work out. 🙁
