One of the worst bites I've ever gotten. {Graphic Picture Warning!}
So it happened at last. Sometimes you think you've gotten to a place where the bite thing is not something you think about. You get careless or complacent. And that's when it happens. One of my girls got me good last night. She'd made a mess in her tub, so I knew it had to be changed out. She was all "S"'d up at me, so I knew she was cranky. But it was really late and I was really tired, I just wanted to get this over with. So I got her tub changed out and was ready to put her back. She was still in the strike position, but I wasn't worried about it. I figured I was quick enough to avoid her if she snapped at me. I was wrong. My heavy eyes and tired mind slowed my reflexes, and when she made her strike, she connected solidly with me. Lucky for me it was just a warning strike, or the damage would have been a lot worse. I got a good look at it once she was put away, and it is without a doubt one of the worst bites I've ever gotten from a Ball. I did get a picture, but those of you with weak stomachs have been warned. Scroll down to see the damage.

Sorry for the trauma this may have caused, but we need to educate people just how bad these bites can be.

Wow that's the deepest bite I've seen. Normally when I wipe away the dot of blood, the pore closes up  !
Sending happy thoughts your way - wish you a speedy recovery  .

Reminds me of a bite I got in middle school.. Buncha kids were kicking at a black racer in a bush. I grabbed it and released through a chain-link fence where nobody could get at it. Sucker kept tagging me on the way but I wasn't about to let go with those jerks nearby. They sent me home advising my parents to take me to the hospital..
