Well not exactly attacked, but ...
.
Yesterday, after the nippers got out of school, we went to visit my friend. Double reason - it's her wee boy's third birthday (everybody say aaaaw) and my kids have been nagging to visit ever since her dog had puppies (even bigger aaaaaaw).

The puppies are absolutely gorgeous. Eight week old Golden Labrador puppies, every one right out of the Andrex ads. Now I'm as big a sucker as the girls when it comes to puppies, so there I was, on the floor with them, puppies climbing all over us. And chewing us. I'd forgotten just how sharp puppy teeth are ...

We got back quite late last night, and went to bed not long after. Another long week of getting up at stupid o'clock in the morning takes its toll.

Got up this morning, quick brekkie, jumped in the shower. I'd forgotten all about the little puppy nibbles on my hands (well, all over my hands and lower arms) until the shampoo hit them.

Oh ..... my ..... god.

It stung like buggery, and I may even have let slip with a less than ladylike word or ten. There wasn't any way to stop the pain until I was out of the shower (the soap stung just as badly) and I could assess the damage. Suffice to say that my hands look like they've been rubbed up and down the cheese grater a few times.

Every time I put my hands in water they nip like fury, and I keep forgetting to put the rubber gloves on (no tittering at the back). Even typing is stretching the cuts on my knuckles - but has it put me off puppies? Has it hell.

The kids spent just as much time with the pups as I did, but their hands are fine. Does that mean their skin is tougher than mine or just more (youthfully) resilient? Or did I taste better?

Well we can sort that out.
Send a chunk of your skin to my address and I'll do a taste test.

I ate his liver with some...

Lets face it Mrs Witch....
They could probably smell the chocolate on your hands.

Okay, ladies
you've made your point! I'd forgotten how much dogs like the smell of chocolate - and yes, I'd had a bar of Bourneville after lunch.
