My dog was bitten... :(

That is so true - that we nickname our pets my baby Jackson is called a variety of names including:

Jack-A-Moe

little toes

Mini

Mini-toes and most commonly Moisha-moo

our cat is named Turk and we call him...

Turkey

Turk-A-Moe

Turkish

Turkish-Moe-Murkish

Mauw-Mauw....

That made me feel better. I can't wait for 4:30....

Daisy's nicknames are...

Daisy Cakes

Bucket Head

Slug Head

Stinky But

Momma

Baby Cakes

Daisy Duke

Vera's are...

Moose

Vera Dog

Crotchity

Doggie Dog

And I call both of them "monkeys" I don't know why...

Your baby will be fine and home before you know it! And if he comes home with literally a bucket on his head...I can guarantee you'll be laughing at him for a few weeks

Update:

Baby Jack was thrilled to see his mumma after work yesterday - he spent most of the evening sleeping and snuggling with FI and I.

We will need to keep a close eye on the staples to ensure that he doesn't scratch at them.

New dilemma: DO I RESPOND

So the owner&friend of the dog that bit my dog sent me a message this morning. I do not want her to feel obligated to pay for the vet visit - or feel more guilt about the dog biting incident. But I feel like I need to respond. I also do not want to lie to her about baby Jackson.

This is what she sent me:

Hey, How is Jack? Hope he is o.k.

We have come to the conclusion that she (sophie) is very protective of the camp becasue we have never seen her be so aggressive anywhere else but camp. I will make sure that if someone brings their dog out Sophie is tied and has a muzzle!!

It is crazy if I'm not disiplining my kids i am worring about my dog. I need a vacation! CUBA!! That is what I need!lol

Take Care

What do I say?

I don't want to lie because it will come back to me - i know it.

Any advice is appreciated.

Note: she is a guest planning on coming to the wedding.

tell her the flat out truth! why lie? send her a message back saying he's ok, we noticed he was bleeding, he had to get some staples, but it back home, safe and sound. cuba is right around the corner - you'll get your vacation soon!

if she volunteers to pay for the vet bill, you can choose to accept or not. if it were my dog that bit, i wouldn't take no for an answer, and if you would not accept $, i'd repay in a gift for the dog, or something...but there's no reason to lie.

I totally agree with lauren. You should be very honest about what happened. Maybe she does not know how serious it was and she should know about what poor jackson had to endure...

I know it's heartbreaking to see your baby hurt! Give him lots of hugs and kisses. I hope you both are feeling better soon. Hugs

Sorry about Jack, I bet he feels better soon!

You need to tell your friend the truth...she needs to know that Sophie did cause damage, it's her right as a dog owner, and yes, she should pay for the bill. Or she should at least offer, even if you don't want her to pay it. And, it was thoughtful of her to ask about him!
