Well, here’s the full story:
I went to work (finally) and started walking the dogs; first came Niki then Cosmo, and Caprise was the last dog I needed to walk before I could start cleaning the hospital. Caprise is a white, medium-sized dog, and apparently this was the first time he was boarding at the pet hospital… So I walked into the run and immediately he backed off, and snipped at me. So, to try and calm him down and reassure him that I was alright and that I just wanted to walk him, I put my hand out so he could sniff me. Apparently, BAD IDEA. He bit my finger, ripping part of my finger off… It hurt like a bitch, but I just closed the run, walked to the sink, cleaned it, then put pressure on it while I was continuing working.
I knew Dr. Ansorge was going to come in to take care of Echo and Jazz, so I called her and asked her to come in earlier to look at my finger. She told me I SHOULD be going to the emergency room, but I was like “Why? You’re a doctor, and you’re free!” So, she came in, and patched me back up…
And now, my finger looks like this…
