Dogs - spawn of the devil?
Mum got bitten by a dog yesterday at work - some kind of horrible Staffordshire bull terrier cross. She went to tell an old couple to put their dog on a lead as they were near a childrens play area. Some kids nearby kicked a football. It was heading towards one of the dog's owners so my mum lifted her arm to stop it hitting him and the dog jumped up, bit her under her arm and didn't let go until it had pulled her over. The dog was on a lead at this point! It hurt her a lot (obviously!). She went to the doctors and had it dressed and she's got to go back today to have it changed. She can't drive and she's got her arm in a sling.
She's reported the owners to the police but I don't know what they'll do about it. That dog shouldn't be allowed out without a muzzle on especially if it's round childrens play areas. The thing that pisses me off most is that the owners of the dog weren't particularly bothered about what had happened and were still sitting in the same place when the police man was patrolling the park.
I think there's a possibility that I may be able to get a permanent position where I'm working at the moment. I said I'd be available for at least a year. It will be nice to have a job where I know that they can't turn round and say - sorry we don't need you anymore after today.

Dogs are evil. We have a border collie at home, who's protective of the family. Which, apparently, doesn't include me. I tickle my sister, he attacks me. My friend tickles me, he attacks me. No win situation!
Glad the jobs going well too :D

We've got a border collie too - extremely neurotic. She spends most of her time in mortal fear of everything around her so you're generally safe from her.

Re: Hello mole
Pissed off about the dog of doom biting mum.
What time do you go on Sunday then? Are you going for a week? I forget.
So has it got as much lead in as you thought it did?
Re: Hello mole
(Anonymous) 2004-07-29 07:57 am (UTC)(link)Not sure how much total lead there is- although have finished the digest (hoorah). Have to wait til the morning to do the AAS (lets just hope that I don't need to do any dilutions to get the reading on the scale. Hate dilutions but am getting quite good at them. Made some 6M HCl from 10M HCl yesterday!!!)
Off to have a go at some lit review
:-(
