I'm fine, and angry. She was on leash (pinch collar) and I had her at close heel because an out-of-control (but also leashed) poodle something was passing by, lunging at us. Can't be sure if that dog wanted to play or fight. In any case, as they passed, Little Girl got behind me and launched herself, catching the side of my thigh in her mouth. She just had to bite something as hyped up as she was. Puncture wound, broke the skin.
I gave her a very, very sharp correction and I know she felt it. I'm trying to get past it but I'm pretty much sulking that I can't trust her when she's excited. I realize there's no point in punishing her or shunning her at this point, but I am still very angry. And I'll be angry when she's wrapped up in a blanket on my lap tonight as we watch a move. And when she snuggles me tomorrow morning. Dammit.
We went through a few with crazy rescue dog Silver. I know it sucks but remember they are so much better at living in the now. That event was over for them 30 seconds after it happened. The current mope isn't guilt it's wonder why you are mad. Getting past it will help you both.

Sorry to see this...Please clean it really good with hydrogen peroxide or some such...You know, of course, how easy it is for a bite to get infected.
