Our Rufus has been quarantined for 10 days. It has now been 5 days, but it has felt like an eternity. Last Thursday he chased a 4 year old girl and bit her on the leg. The bite broke skin, causing the grandparents to take her to the doctor. Next thing we know, animal control is at our door.
I am honestly trying to see their side. Our dog was without a leash. Their grand daughter was the victim. I am not passing the blame. It is just really hard for me to go visit Rufus and see him stuck in a small cage for 10 days.
I think what it all comes down to is if you are a dog person. I am 100% dog lover. I understand them and I have complete patience with their behaviors. Michael, on the other hand, has never had a dog. Rufus is his first. He has been annoyed several times with Rufus over things I consider cute or fun.
I am mostly typing this for future reference. I just need to calm down, wait another few days and be there right when the Animal Shelter opens on Saturday morning.
