Hi everyone. I wish I had a better reason to post since it's been a while but I had to let you know that Jacob got bit by my in-law's dog tonight, not too serious but read on............
We were at my in-laws this evening and they have a dog, who is part schnauzer(sp?) who we've known since they've had him that he is not good around little kids, so they make sure to keep him away from Jacob when we go over there.


Oh Jenny! How scary!! I'm so glad he wasn't badly hurt! It does sound like your ILs have *tried* to be responsible, but I can totally understand your fears. What if the dog somehow got loose or Jacob somehow got access without your knowlege? It's like Russian Roulette. I can absolutely see why you'd want them to get rid of the dog, but I'm sure that's not going to be easy for them. I'm just sorry this has happened.
Sounds like you did everything right to clean it out & dress it, and just call the doctor in the morning. I'm sure he'll be fine, but I can imagine that was a situation that would shake everyone up.

I understand what you're going through !
Oh my goodness, that is frightening! Poor little Jacob. I'm glad it wasn't serious. I'm sure you are right, that the dog felt threatened by Jacob's tantrum, and that was his reaction. And your poor MIL - I'm sure she does feel awful. Maybe now that she has had time to think about it, she will consider getting rid of the dog. I hope so. This could just be the beginning.
Hugs to you all, and let us know what the dr. says.

I hope this does not scare him from dogs, but I guess you will have to wait and see.
Let us know what the dr says about the bite.
omg Jenny! I'm so glad he's ok!!!!
yeah I think I'd be pretty upset too if my baby got hurt like that. I hope they get rid of the dog so you don't have to worry about it anymore.
Hopefully Jacob wasn't too shaken up to be afraid of all dogs. Let us know what the doctor says!
