Last weekend I traveled to see my friend at his home in Ocean City, NJ.  The drive wasn't awfully bad, even though the weather was rainy and cold.  I made the best of it, while sipping on my Starbucks hot chocolate.  I planned to stay the weekend. 

I ran the door bell, upon arriving and  was greeted by his 2 black labs...Ginger and Snap.  They licked my face lovingly for what seemed like an hour, but I could be exaggerating a little. My friend invited me to accompany him for a cup of tea in his kitchen.  We sat down and had a talk for awhile, when we here the dogs barking in the lawn.  We ran to out see what was the matter, when a neighboring dog began to pick a fight with Ginger.  Snap, being the more protective dog, began to attack the neighboring dog as well. 

 I quickly grabbed a rake to break up the fight.  I ran into the lawn and was bitten by the neighboring dog.  This meant a quick trip to the Emergency Room for some shots and a bunch of unnecessary wound care products .  I ended up with 3 stiches in my forearm. 

 The trip to the ER made my trip to see an old friend not so much fun.  I decided to leave a day early, so I could go home and tend to my wounds.  Such an unfortunate event ruined a potentially good weekend.
