So I went to meet my friend Rob who is visiting from Vegas last Friday night and he was staying with a friend who has a couple of dogs. They were both friendly type dogs and as I knelt down to say hi to the more hyper of the two, he snapped up and grabbed my nose and lip with his teeth. I immediately cupped my hands to my face and felt the blood start to flow, so I ran to the bathroom and held my head over the sink and saw in the mirror that I was missing a small chunk of lip. Rob and his friend were mortified and I was just sort of in shock and although we tried to find the missing piece of flesh, I think the dog probably kept it.
So... Instead of going out for drinks like we'd planned, we ended up spending Friday evening at the emergency room where I received 5 stitches in my nose. The doctor looked at my lip and referred me to a plastic surgeon, who I saw today. Today's doctor took one look at me and said reassuring things like "Hmmmn. This is gonna be tricky", "several procedures", "might have to sew your tongue to the lip area" then after a few moments he referred me to another doctor who I'm supposed to see tomorrow.
Thankfully, the guy who owns the dogs has promised to cover the expenses.
I'm not really feeling too chipper about the whole thing right now and probably won't be going out in public much. So..., think good thoughts for me that this will end sooner rather than later.
Seacrest... sucks.
I can't express how sorry I am. You don’t know how this hits home. Same thing happened to my sister….50 stitches to start and 4 surgeries later….because she wanted to pet a nice family dog.
The real question is....what’s going to happen to the dog?
Please don't tell me it will have another breath. I don't care what people say about animal rights...when animals cross a line in the domestic world...it's time for a little country justice out behind the woodshed. When animals cross a line like this, there is no going back.
Hey…it’s nice they’ll pay for the surgery…wait until they see the bill. Hope they’ll still be supportive. They better be!

I've already said most of what I can say. I hope things'll end up good, and I know you'll still be pretty, Ker.
I just wanted to say that Bubba should be shot dead if ever he punches someone or has done so in the past. Once you cross that line...
