Ouch

Friday night started off great with 2 great dives at Redondo , one with our friend Chris Eddy. Personally , I think the only reason she decided to show up was that I made a thermos of Peppermint Patty's!! None the less, we saw some great stuff, several small octos ,one medium small one , hooded nudibranchs, some Bay pipe fish and of course my favorite ... the Ratfish!! I love them , but it is always a little disconcerting when the get too close to your face!! here are a couple pics from the dive.. THEN we went home..... I had just drawn a bath when a fight broke out.. Tequila stole Stuarts bone so he thought he would try to kill her for it.. I had to hold Pooka off so she wouldn't jump in on it too! Finally after separating them all I had Stuart subdued - then Pooka attacked Tequila for no reason other than she was already all

f*#%ed up !!! I must have relaxed my grip on Stuart , 'cause he grabbed my wrist & chomped down on it so hard I saw birdies circling!! Once we finally got everyone seperated I took a look at Martys finger... It was BARELY attatched!! Stuart had bit the tip of his finger off!!! Marty is the toughest SOB I think I've ever met cause he very calmly drove us to the ER... Where we waited for 5 hours before they took us back. I think what sped up the line was when I told the nurse in charge that we had left a bloody dog at home and I was starting to freak out a little & should I drive home to get some Xanax?? I noticed it was only about 5 minutes after that that we were called back...

Dog bites are especially scary because dogs have a cootie in there mouth that REALLY likes to get infected-hence the reason I have 6 puncture wounds that got scrubbed out but not stitched up... They only gave me 1 vicodin - dumbasses! However Martys wound was bad . The dog actually cracked the bone- so bacteria got all the way down to the bone. here is a picture of after the nurse cleaned it up , but before the Doctor pulled the fingernail off & stitched it up..

neat , huh? SOOOOO, we are at home laying low, eating pills , trying to heal as quickly as possible so we can get back in the water.

As if it wasnt bad enough that Pooka has always hated Baby, and now that Stuart has sent K.C. to the vet three times in the last three months , NOW they both attacked Ticky.... Now Baby , Ticky & K.C. hang out in our bedroom where they are safe.. The other two Marty is alternating hanging out with .. This is my life...
