NWR: Terrible Day! (long)

Original post by Jill52787

Today FH and I went to my friends moms' house to see my friends kids (one of which is my god daughter).

I have written on here before about how my friend is immature and a pain in the ***. I bite my tongue a LOT with her, in an effort to prevent any drama so I maintain a good relationship with my god daughter. It's one of those things where we were close in HS, but we went in totally different directions as adults. I went to college, and she smoked a lot of pot, basically (and still does, near the kids) and got pregnant. But I firmly believe in being there for the kid regardless.

Anyway, I was so excited that FH and I were gonna see the kids because he rarely gets to see them. FH is not fond of my friend at ALL. He thinks her and her husband are idiots, but he acts civil and friendly because he knows how much the relationship with my god daughter means to me.

My friends mom has 3 dogs. One of the dogs is a little beast, and has bitten me before. When I got there my friend said don't worry the dog is locked in another room.

At one point, we were sitting outside, and the sliding glass doors to the living room had been wide open for a while, so I went inside to get my phone after cautiously scanning the perimeter of the room. My friend jokingly said 'Don't worry it's safe' and i laughed and started to turn around to go back outside when her brother said 'No it's not!' and the dog comes running up to me and bit my leg twice. I freaked, dropped my cell phone on the cement, and ran outside while they got the dog.

The skin is definitely broken, was bleeding, and FH was p i s s e d! The thing that really pissed him off, is how no one took any responsibility for it. No one said sorry. All they said was that he has all his shots so I wouldn't worry. (My good friend is a p.a. and she said how dogs have a lot of bacteria in their mouths so its really important to see a DR)

My friend handed me a bottle of peroxide, and heard me ask FH what the google search 'how to care for a dog bite' said.

When she heard FH tell me what it said, and I asked him if I should go to the doctor, she started laughing and told me I was over reacting and being ridiculous. This is when FH got really mad. But the type of person he is, he didn't say anything to them.

I wanted to say EFF YOU, but I know shes just an immature, arrogant person who will NEVER admit wrong, or take responsibility for anything.

The kicker is that a half hour later, we were sitting outside, and THE DOG COMES OUTSIDE! FH is like 'W T F get this dog away from Jill!' and my friend gets him and responds 'Sorry grandma let him out without knowing'.

After we left, FH blew a gasket. Yelling about how if he had a dog, and there was a chance the dog could bite someone, that dog would be locked in a cage while they were there, and EVERYONE would know not to let it out. He was saying how accidents happen, but the fact that my friend demeaned my reaction and no one even apologized made him INSANE. And my FH is a VERY calm man.

I know FH is 100% right, but I got really upset because I feel like I'm between a rock and a hard place with this situation. Normally I am a VERY outspoken person, but if I don't bite my tongue in this situation, it's going to create drama and to me its not worth risking the relationship with my god daughter.

FH understands why I bite my tongue, but he is still livid about the situation and i know he wished I would have told her off.

Anyway, I've been upset the whole night, not with FH, he has been taking really good care of me, just about the situation. And now tomorrow I have to go to the doctor to get this checked out.

Here is a pic I took after about an hour. Now it's swollen and black and blue also :(

man you are a saint! I think I might have given up at this point! Definitely don't go back there. FMIL has a horrible little dog that tries to bite FH and she won't get rid of it!

FH's protective reaction is very cute.

I love my cats, so easy going!

First, I am so sorry this happened to you. It is so scary to be attacked by a dog. I was attacked as a kid and never will forget it. But, we have to all realize that it's sadly not usually the fault of the animal... it's the way it's treated by the people who care (or don't care) for it. Regardless, it's really scary and I am so sorry your friend seems to be less of a friend to you than you are to her and her family.

Second, I have a suggestion. Since clearly she or her family won't change their behavior by leaving the dog penned, perhaps you can consider a muzzle. You could insist that you will not enter the house until the muzzle is firmly on the dog. This way, even if it DOES escape from confinement, it will guarantee you will not end up being a victim of any other attacks. This way, you can resume your relationship with your godchild without the risk of personal injury!

Feel better.
