My poor coworker:(

One of the MSW's I work with who is a complete dog lover was petting the small dog of a hospice patient. The dog snapped and bit her nose and gashed it and she was gushing blood and the family did nothing ! She drove home bleeding and her mom found. Good plastic surgeon t a prestigious ospitl in our area. She got 15 stitches on her nose. She is a beautiful girl. She is sooooo traumatized right now from the whole event.And the family didn't apologize or even ask how she was. Let alone offer to call an ambulance. My heart breaks for her. She is so sweet and trusting.Talk a about occupational hazards.

I've been known to reach out to a pet . . . they certainly sniff my feet as I have two dogs and a cat. :yes: It's hard as an animal lover not to at least put your hand out to let the smell you. So far I've been lucky. One dog would come up and put his paws on my thigh and then lay his face down on his paws . . .he looked like he was praying.

Wow, I'm new to HH and I've been just like Spidey's Mom, I live animals and I've been very friendly wit clients pets unless told otherwise! You've all given me quite a lot to think about before my next visit, where they have approx 6-8 small dogs that yip and yap the whole time I'm there right at my feet and or hands since they get on everything. Yikes!!!
