my dog bite story


See these two?
If you know them, then you probably know what the HCFs (highest common factors) are.

Yeah,  that is my sister and i (Eloho & Erowo).

Fun obvious facts:
We share the same amazing parents
We have the same amazing brothers 
We have the same amazing sisters-inlaw
We share the same super nieces and nephews 

Sad and not obvious fact:
We have both been biten by dogs๐Ÿ˜ญ๐Ÿ˜ญ๐Ÿ˜ญ

Eloho was bitten by our family dogs during one of their fights๐Ÿ˜ข๐Ÿฅบ๐Ÿ˜ญ. 
Chiba and Timi were the accused๐Ÿ˜”.

Growing up these two dogs would have fights, i don't recall the cause of their fights but was witness to a couple of them. And the fights wete hortific, really bloody. It was like they were bent on killing themselves ๐Ÿคฆโ€โ™€๏ธ๐Ÿคทโ€โ™€๏ธ๐Ÿฅบ.  They end up with injuries and we had to give them pain meds.

My siblings and i titled the fights "the Benin massacre "๐Ÿคฆโ€โ™€๏ธ๐Ÿคทโ€โ™€๏ธ๐Ÿ™„.We grew up in Benin city. I don't recall who coined the name. So there were several "Benin massacres ", like Benin massacre I,II,III,IV....

I think someone had mentioned that if they got into fights we should pour cold water in them, especially on their heads and that the fights would stop. Well, that never worked ๐Ÿคทโ€โ™€๏ธ

On this day, while they were fighting we were trying to separate them and Eloho was doing her bit, maybe she was an over enthusiastic referee ๐Ÿคญ๐Ÿค”, but she sadly got bitten by them on her legs. She wailed๐Ÿ˜”

Well, no first aid care was given๐Ÿคฆโ€โ™€๏ธ(ignorant lot then๐Ÿ˜›). When my folks got back, she was taken to the hospital and treated. Great thing was our dogs were always up to date on their vaccination shots. So she was fine, just treated for the dog bites.

I got bitten as an adult ๐Ÿ˜ญ. I had a sleeoover at my cousin's and the dogs had not been put back in their kennels, unknown to us. And they attacked me๐Ÿฅบ๐Ÿ˜ญ. I tried not to run or act hysterical but my arm was bitten. The dogs were also up to date with their vaccination shots and first aid was sufficient to manage the bite (not ignorant anymore, we are first aid learned ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿ’ช๐Ÿ’ƒ๐Ÿ‘).

Have you or someone else you know suffered a dog bite before? 
Were you clueless or did you know exactly what to do?๐Ÿค”

Being first aid learned is a massive plus, trust me๐Ÿ˜.

You don't want to snooze on us for the next couple of days, we got vital info to dispense๐Ÿ˜‰.
