I did something stupid, that may put me out of playing for a week or two. I gave my dog a pork chop bone to knaw on for awhile, and when he widdled it down to not much left, I didn't want him to choke on it, so I decided to take it from him, Well, safety tip for the day. Do NOT stick your finger in a dogs jaw that is chopping on a bone. He didn't mean to, but he was chewing on the bone pretty hard, and as I reached my poor left hand index finger in his jaw to pull out this half dollar sized chunk of bone, he clamped down on a chomp. I mean HARD. Not trying to bite me, but I assume thinking he was clamping down on the bone. Well, he did, but it wasn't the one he intended. I yellped like a school girl, and it scared him. He thought he really hurt me, and was trying to comfort me. But, let me tell ya, he crushed my finger tip pretty good, and drove a pretty deep hole on the top on the edge of my finger nail, and the bottom on the pad of my index finger. It's bruised big time, and two knarly puncture wombs. Owwy, owwy. It is sore as heck right now, and I can imagine will be for several days. I can't even type with my left index, let alone play the uke. That sucks, because I was planning on playing awhile at my Moms house for a back yard cookout with family and a few friends. This sucks.. I don't know what hurts more, my finger, or the fact I can't play for awhile..
