i got ouchied

today i was in the pen playing with my dogs when all of a sudden they went after each other.

if you didn't know, they are a rottweiler and a pitbull.

usually they just play fight but this time it was real. i made my best attempt to separate them but they were locked and the rott started to tear into the pit.

i tried jumping on them and holding them apart but they were just too fast and strong.

i was able to pin the pit against the fence after about 20 secs. i tried holding the rott back with my foot but she grabbed my lower calf, locked on, and proceeded to shake her head and roll. (did you see the shark attack on discovery channel?)

i kicked at her until i could pull my leg back with most of the flesh intact.

at that point she came running again towards the pit and i got my hand up to deflect her and she bit through to the bone. she's only about fifty lbs so i grabbed her collar and threw her to the side while i still had the pit pinned.

i was able to get my mom's attention and she got me back into the house. before i left the pen i will not forget all the blood in the rott's mouth. and it wasn't hers.

right now my pit is getting stitched up at the animal hospital. she had 2 giant gashes to the bone.

i came out with 2 puncture wounds to the bone and torn muscle on my left hand and about 8 punctures with some mangled flesh on my left leg.

we're now debating on what to do with the rott. i was real lucky to be in there instead of either the pit being killed or a smaller person getting hurt.

my pit should be home soon so i'll know if she's really ok.

well that was my ordeal today. now i have to go take a physical for the air force wednesday. i hope i can walk by then.

man that sux....i have 5 dogs but nothing like that has ever happened o_O

I got chased down by a rottweiler once......yeah it was awesome......until it bit my leg.

That sucks man... hope you dog(s) are alright, and you for that matter. Hope everything goes will with that physical... man those things sucks.. haha.

Better start practicing your turn and cough :p

There's an old saying that says if a Rott tastes human blood, it will crave for it by instinct. Not sure if it's true, but I've heard that from a lot of people.

I'd keep it locked in a cage of some sort for a little while if you really don't want to get rid of it. If it still acts like that, or attempts to, then I'd advise you get rid of it. Those can be very dangerous dogs ... as you've pointed out and obviously noticed.

Torn muscles. Now that is painful. I know that feeling. Cuts and gashes are okay, but when it goes to the bone and makes your muscles "curl" ... ouch. That is very painful. I've had my fair share of skateboard, bike, and bad temper accidents, so I know how you feel. Pain wise anyway.

My cat brings me mauled up mice roughly once every two weeks. I have cemetery of 6 dead mice behind the house. Tombstone and all. It's awesome.

Sorry about the dog. Back when I was living in Moscow, I heard of at least 5 cases where pitbulls either mauled or killed their owner. It was horrifying. I'm pretty sure they're outlawed there now, or there are some kinds of regulations.

pitbulls are illegal here - a pitbull killed a little girl about 3 years ago. They banned the breed since. I have a giant schnauzer bitch(bigger and heavier than my girlfriend). But she never gave me any trouble - I can get a bone from her when she's eating it. I'm the only one she'll let do that tho
Me - I'm afraid of cats. My father's cat is the devil. When he's around she plays nice, rolls tiny bits of paper and acts like a wellbehaved kitty. Once my father goes out of the room - she goes straight for my throat. And he never believes me because as soon as he comes in the room she starts being nice again. I hate that cat. I stopped going to my parents' because of that cat - they think I'm crazy. I told them they can come visit me if they miss me - as long as that cat is alive - I'm not risking...

Good thing you're joining the airforce, .. .*giggles a bit* ...because THEN YOU'LL BE ABLE TO DOG FIGHT BETTER!!!!!!!!!!111111OMG

Sorry. -___-


Sucks! I'm a bit afraid of dogs I don't know. I mean...ffs, they can be pretty dangerous. :eek:

ROFL @ Pekka. Now that's funny !

Were they both males? or male and female? We have three dobermans... One is a mix actually. But they are really nice.
