This is the story of my short stay at Castleton club site this past 4 days, last night we left the site on foot with our dog to go to the Cheshirecheese for a drink and evening meal.
We were walking along the pavement when a couple with two dogs came the other way, they stood to one side and we moved to the curb edge as we passed one of the dogs, a collie lunged towards us the lady failing to hold it back and it bit me on my leg.
The wound was bleeding and there is a hole in my new jeans, we were due home early the next day (today) so with the help of the kind lady behind the bar cleaned and dressed the wound ( she was an ex nurse), the owner of the dog was very sorry etc the dog had never done anything like that before and went on her way I suspect back to the club site but cannot be certain.
That one incident cost me a pair of jeans, 3 hrs at A and E, a tetanus injection and 2 weeks on antibiotics one of which you cannot drink alcohol with.
The morale of the story is we all make sure our dogs are not a threat to humans or other dogs as the consequences are annoying to say the least.
