Oh, so sorry that happened to you. I've gotten a few wounds working at home, especially.
Glad you are okay!!! Comment regarding safety and otherwise..Friend was having heart attack. {always in good health} Wife was shopping with friend. He always had his cell phone with him not this time as had gone to his shed to check new puppies. Had to crawl to the house and up some stairs to get to phone. { house was approx. 60 ft away}. Called 911 and passed out. moral of story, in todays world, keep cell phone handy. I learned as working on some acreage and had altercation with momma pit bull who had just had babies in barn. she attacked my leg and didn't go through boot... Oh! friend is fine now, but tough going..Have a safe, but fun year!!!!
Thanks for reply. Glad your friend is ok. And it's good job you had boots on. Safety first then fun.
My husband & I love dogs, but after an attack by a strange dog, we both carry a small Attwood signal horn. It fits easily in a pocket, and it says on the container that it can be heard 40 ft. away. We've used it several times with great success when we were approached by an aggressive dog when walking. It makes a really loud noise and every time, the dogs turned and ran away. These signal horns are very inexpensive at Walmart, & they also sell larger/louder ones, too.
