Srsly, they need to straighten up!<br /><br />Ranger was mauled by a pitbull once. Actually, he had been molested, as it were, a few other times but this time the dog's fence was downed by a hurricane and she was roaming free with another dog. The way you break their jaw grip is to insert a broom handle or something similar into the corner of their mouth. It was nothing short of a miracle.<br /><br />I'm still rooting for Team Louise and hope she finds her furever home one day.PJhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12059415005282675289noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5665132705224761110.post-18412077116325884022012-01-29T22:48:35.581-08:002012-01-29T22:48:35.581-08:00Jean, good to see you back.

Yikes, you'll have to share your dog bite stories next time I see you. And yes, I do walk them individually now. It's pretty tiring but I take them to doggie daycare a few days during the week so I don't have to do it everyday. I'm also hiring a dog walker. Thanks for the offer to help.

I've been bitten a few times. Do you now have to walk them individually?
