Last night totally sucked!

Well, last night totally sucked! About 8:30 pm my youngest son came running in the house, screaming and crying! Dog down the street had bitten him on the leg! He had bite marks on the front under his knee and on the back right in the muscle behind the knee!

He was about 3 houses away from where the dog lives when he was bitten and dog was not o leash nor under any kind of control.

I went up there, and boy was I p'd off! The woman who owns the dog gave no apology nor expressed any concern about my son. Her only response was "well, we can't keep him in." Her daughter, who is such a b**ch at the ripe old age of 14, asked me how old son was and when I told her he was 12, she said "he should not be afraid of a dog at that age". Boy, that really set me off!

So, I came home called the police. 911 dispatcher asked if I wanted EMS and I said no. She said "they will be out there soon". We waited an hour and no police came, so I called 911 again. This time I asked for EMS because I knew he needed a tetanus shot and antibiotics and a good cleaning. So EMS got here in under 2 minutes. EMS tech told me police don't come out on calls like this!! So we wasted a good hour!

Took him to the ER and into "Immediate Care" (what an oxymoron that is!) finally dr came in and cleaned it, gave him a tetanus shot (oooouch) and gave me a Rx for antibiotics and dressed the areas.

Stupid antibiotics are about $50! Gotta keep that receipt for sure! Because those people are going to pay the entire bill--EMS, ER bill, Dr bill and pharmacy bill! Even if I have to take them to court!

We didn't get home until about 1 am this morning! So much for Immediate Care!
Below are a couple of pictures. One is of front of leg and other is back of knee.
