Left cheek of the backside if I remember right. To be fair maybe I could have got it in the arm but she probably wanted to see my arse anyway. |

| Re: Tetanus? Foxglove - he's 4 and a half, and had his pre-school boosters 2 weeks ago, which I pointed out in my initial post.
He's fine, apparently the tetanus in the DPT&T covers him and he's fine, he'd only have needed it if his boosters weren't up to date, or it may have been given as a precaution if there had been serious damage, but since it's only a flesh wound he's not going to need it  |

| Re: Tetanus? Argh - oops
Damn early morning at work and no sleep.
Glad to hear he is fine. Must have been a real worry.

Good to hear Finn is OK.
Nasty dog

| Re: Tetanus? What was the dog made of? Dogs that are made of soap are easy to scare away. Dogs that are made of green rope are the worst, they bite a lot.

I hate dogs. Even worse are rodents that masquerade as dogs. If you're going to get a dog, get a real one instead of a soft toy, innit?  |

| Re: Tetanus? You're damn right about the stupid pixie-dogs. I like dogs, but only proper ones. I'm going to get an Alaskan Malamute when I have enough resources.

| Re: Tetanus? I like huskies but not really practical to own one and it is too warm to have one in this country
I prefer cats though
Dogs made of sausage are tasty.

| Re: Tetanus? I was once attacked by a dog made of plum-pudding, luckily I had just read a book that told me that dogs made of pudding are terrified of spiders. So, I merely adopted the stance of a spider and the dog made of plum-pudding quickly legged it.

| Re: Tetanus? I employed a mirror in such a manner that the dog was compelled to believe I was a creature possessing 8 limbs, I also mimicked the terrifying sound of an angry spider.

Impressive
Did the SAS teach you such calm action under such extreme conditions?
Are these dogs confined to Dumpdee?

| Re: Tetanus? Columbo taught me how to remain calm under extreme circumstances.
These dogs are tropical creatures but this one had been hibernating in a box of pineapples which was shipped to Dumpdee.
