Christmas Stigmata...Animal Bite ??s

[Nobody's Biz]

So these kids lost their dear pet xmas eve, & me like a good Samaritan & everything didn't want to see them crying. So, I tracked down & cornered the thing, & yes I got bit HARD. The thing isn't exactly a pit, but it bites like one, locking up it's jaws. I picked the whole thing up by the tail, eventually shook it, & all that did was tear my flesh. The damn thing had a death grip on my finger. That shit was tinier than a poodle, so I couldn't kick it without risking killing it & making the kids cry, and/or ripping off the tip of my finger. I blew in it's face, spit on it, & rubbed it over chicken wire real quick, & it finally let go & ran off. Needless to say it ruined my guitar hand for a minute and a half. It will heal no doubt in time. I'm lucky it wasn't worse, but I wonder if anybody here can tell me what people are supposed to do. Any pet lovers out there with a better plan? I don't plan on getting bit again, but I didn't plan on it this time either, & I'm still fingerpainting in red blood today! EWWWWWwwww!!
