You guys are having as much fun with this as my hunting buddies were. "Hey Tim, come get this bird from my dog." "No, I only have 10 fingers", I reply.
Anyway, I dropped by the ER early this morning, to get the Dr to look and evaluate the wound. He said to leave the stitches in for a couple more days, and he sent a suture removal kit home with me after a big discussion on dogs and hunting, and the sharing of photos. Nice Dr.
