Well honestly I am beginning to believe I am an accident waiting too happen..
Days started off normal enuff...blah blah blah.....then off too do deliveries...
Yeah last delivery 1pm woohoo I'll get lunch at a reasonable time...
oopsy uh uh nope not going to happen...
my last delivery was dropping off 2 parcel's at a local courier for them too deliver to Katherine (couple hours sth of darwin) tonight
Well I pop the parcels on the counter then go into the office to get one of the girls to sign the docket ...then off I go back out the office and the site doggie( which is a lovely dog-looks like a blue heeler/kelpie cross) is sitting there wagging her paw for a shake so as is routine I shake her paw....and step down the step to walk too the car-well that's when shit hit the fan the dog jumped up and bit me on the upper-thigh,well it took a couple of seconds to register that the bloomin thing had bitten me, then I casually and quite clamly walk back into the office and too let the girls know the dog bit me,1 of the girls goes hey Vic won't be a minute ..I'm like ok no problem ..then when she came and said whats up..I lost me bundle like a freakin wimp..and I started shaking like mad and the tears came from no where..and I managed to tell her the dog had bitten me...well she flies out to the dog kicks the dog,yells at it, ties it up..then comes back too check on my leg...so into the loo I go pull down the daks and yukky big red/blue bite mark..well by then both the office girls are looking at my leg nearly crying with me...arghhh grr I just want too get out of there...so they tell me the dog will be put down tomorrow-
can they do anything for me -like take me back to work-am I ok to drive blah blah..I say i'm fine must get back too office and fill out paperwork and report incident they say no worries just call us if you need anything..
I get in the car and start shaking worse so I call hubby and luckily he was at his office, so through garbled words I telll him I need ice have been bitten by a dog,and I go to his work place bawling like a baby..and we put ice on it and it's stinging like hell....
I manage to get back too work..calll the OH&S bloke and he says get too Dr..so off I go (hubby came and got me)..Dr says very lucky skin has just been broken..must be careful big bruising and lots of swelling-you stay home for cple days and keep it elevated, then he says when did you have your last tetanus shot arr well that was easy too remember-ermm 4½yrs ago when hubby ran over my foot with the ride on mower (told ya accident just waiting too happen)..ok he syas you don't need another yet..PHEW
As the saying goes in oz land "I musta ran over 10 chinamen for the run of luck I'm having lately" NOT
I must say at least taking some pain relief 1 hr ago the pain has subsided some what.....
cheers Vickie

So sorry you were bitten. Does anyone know why the dog suddenly bit you? I'm a big animal person, so I have to ask, was the dog put down? How sad for everyone.
