Geoffrey Settle Posted December 10, 2011 Report Share Posted December 10, 2011 I was bitten again last week. As I went to post my leaflet the door opened, I said hello can I give you this please and before I knew I had a Jack Russel trying to bury its teeth in my leg just above my left knee. I swatted the thing off and it went around my back to have a go at my ankle. The lady said ‘Don’t you know anything about dogs? You said hello in a loud voice and he thought that you were going to come inside ’ It’s alright I said ‘I used to be a runner it used to happen all the time’ and limped off with two fang impressions but only one bled. What doggy tales have you got to share ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dizzy Posted December 10, 2011 Report Share Posted December 10, 2011 Thankfully I have never been bitten by a dog (even when delivering leaflets) but they do say dogs are very good judges of character Geoff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Geoffrey Settle Posted December 11, 2011 Author Report Share Posted December 11, 2011 Perhaps he was dressed up like a dog's dinner?! Recommendations please for attire of a well dressed leafleteer, all for one and one for all - hey Obs Seriously what deodorant do you wear to stop the dogs biting you or frightening them away? As a runner I’ve been bitten by several dogs especially those on the elastic leads – their owners always shout it’s ok he’s harmless – snarl bite ouch . The last time I went to the doctors for a tetanus injection I got turned away – they said ‘you’ve had enough for life’ – is this true can you have too many injections and become tetanus free?

Cleopatra Posted December 11, 2011 Report Share Posted December 11, 2011 Tetanus injections last a very long time, 10 years, and you should get a booster thereafter every 10 years. Getting tetanus injections more frequently is not particularly harmful but can cause redness and soreness at the point of the injection. You could always try wearing Greaves and Poleyns! Leg armour.

It is true, Geoff. If you have had a certain number in your life you develop a life-time immunity and don't need any more. The same happened to me, one of the few joys of getting older!!

Geoffrey Settle Posted December 12, 2011 Author Report Share Posted December 12, 2011 It is true, Geoff. If you have had a certain number in your life you develop a life-time immunity and don't need any more. The same happened to me, one of the few joys of getting older!! And I'm over 1 billion seconds old - this site is so educational. Took my pup out for a 3 mile cross-country run yesterday and she was coated in mud when she got back - I can out spint her but haven't got the stamina that she has - must get some more training in. I tried to upload her photo but it got blocked so I've logged a call to Gazza and Dizzy under Forum Problems. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
