I finally got up my nerve to go in there and get him/her out. I went in and didn't see him but just to be sure I put the ceiling fan on that I have in there. I figured that would scare him out. I heard a hissing sound and started to run. As I ran out Hooper ran in. I got so nervous for her I grabbed her with one hand and started to grab the bird feed which was on the bench with other other. That's where he was hiding, behind the bird feed. I felt his jaw on my hand and ran out with Hooper. I have a big gash on the side of my hand. I cleaned it and it's finally stopped bleeding.

I'm done. If he's still there tomorrow I'm calling the police. :mad:

oh no!!!

you need to get a tetnis shot bj. are you current?

:hug:

That's awful! We had one on our summer kitchen one year..he played dead while Cooper barked at him...he hissed when we poked him with a broom handle and when he finally went out the way he crawled in...loose board, we had someone come and tighten up the whole room.

Someone told me that I should put a loud radio out there...they wouldn't like the noise but I didn't try it.

And I'm sure you're current on you tetnis shot???? :hug:

What's "current"? I can't remember when I had it last. I know I've lived in this borough for 12 years and never had one. But I did have one when I was a teenager because I stepped on a dirty rusty nail. Is that one still good?

bj..wild animals can have rabies. i'm not trying to scare you, but you need to go get that bite checked out ok?


call the er and ask to speak to the triage nurse.

i think the max they are good for is either 5 or 7 years.

hubby had to have another one when he got stitches a fe wmonths ago. it had been 6 yrs.

I never thought of that. I like animals so much and don't ever think they'd do me any harm. Believe me, this is not the first time I've been wrong about that.

I'll call the ER and see what they think I should do.

:hug: TY sweets. don't leave me worrying all night. post or send me a pm.

I wouldn't do that Curious after all we went through last night :grouphug:

I called and she said I need to come in and get it cleaned properly and get a tetanus shot. And since it's still bleeding I might need stitches.

I just hope I'm not sitting there all night. :(

I believe it is every 5 years for shot.
Oh I feel bad Telling you it wouldnt bite you. :( Really bummed that it made a liar out of me and that you got a gash. I would definately get it checked out a.s.a.p.
I would also call the police and tell them as it could have rabbies they should come out without any problem and rid you of that mean bugger as it is a threat to you and neighbors. and also unhealthy if it is living in there.
:hug: :hug: :hug: :hug:
dont worry I got my bumps today too my new dog head butted my chin and now I have a blue marble knot there my face is throbing I have a one sided headache. I was so close to tossing the monkey dog across the room to see how well it could fly as jumpping isnt a problem for her but deep breaths and some cursing gave me time to rethink my painful anger at her. she also ran after my momma cat got 2 claws stuck in her muzzle and a bloody ear . I dont know why I took this new dog :confused:
