- Sat., 10/23/10 @10:30Pm watching the Phils lose, my Coco attacks me in the yard!
- Sun. 10/24/10 I am hurting BAD, watching the Eagles lose, with both hands inoperable...
- Mon. 10/25/10 John drives me to the E.R. @ the VAMC in Phila.
- the people at the V.A. yell @ me for not coming in immediately after the "multiple dog bites"
- they wash my wounds
- give me a tetanus shot
- put me on an IV with antibiotic & X-ray my hands.
5. Wed. 10/27/10. I first go to the SPCA (thinking they will be cheaper than the Vet) & tell them what happened & say I want my dog GASSED! And, they tell me that because she bit me I have to Quarantine the dog for 10 days. And then get a form signed by Coco's vet that allows the Euthanasia!
6. Same day...I then go to the Vets office, speak to the Nurses. They tell me the same 10 day Quarantine thing! They also tell me that the Dr will probably suggest some "Prozac" for the 13 year old dog, who the VA people suggested had "dementia" to see if Coco would "calm down"
7. I then made things up! I said, "my 6,5 and 3 year old Grankids are due here at Thanksgiving! And there is no way their parents, or me! will allow Coco around them!
8. They just said, "call us again when the 10 day Quarantine is over"!
So...bottom line...if your 90lb. 13 year old dog with dementia attacks you & sends you to the Emergency Room you need to live with the attacker for at least 10 more days before you can rid yourself of the threat!

You should write a book! Only YOU can tell such a sad-but-true-but-hard-to-believe tale and make it "amusing" and interesting. You could title it: "Coco and Me"...
I hope your wounds are healing and that you and Coco have found a way to co-exist; just don't turn your back!
Oh man! I think your sister should make you some Irish Soda Bread for all that you are going through ;)
"Every word of it is true!"
Coco called Krimpet and said YOU attacked HER FIRST! Looks see the reay.
I would be more than happy to take Coco to a Lanco vet. They'll kill any animal in Lancaster. It would also be poetic justice. SMITTY LIVES!
This doesn't make any sense. Are you sure that is what they said?
