    First, the human. Please get your GF to go to the doctor (please G-d tell me both dogs up on rabies!) and get started on antibiotics. Puncture wounds infect fast on dogs and humans.

    Then get the dogs in for the vet to flush out any punctures and also put on meds.

    Then, get another crate so they are really separated and this doesn't happen again. You risk creating cage aggression by having them with only a divider. I never let even cages touch. I have put plexiglass between when had company and had to push close.

    Very good advice!

    All I could do was laugh… it really sounds funny to the fly on the wall.
    Preventable by... a second crate.

    Hope you are joking about rabies shots and vets. And no one took it "too seriously" unless you made up things and no dogs or people actually got any bites.

    Tell me you are not serious about not believing in rabies shots or vets! You and your pups are in serious jeaopardy without either! Story was funnily written, but it must have been an awful night for you, your gf and the dogs.

    I hate to tell you that if you do not believe in rabies shots and do not give them you are actually violating a law. In pretty much all states rabies vaccinations are required by law and you can get in trouble if for any reason your dog bites, is reported, and turns out not to have been vaccinated.

    I do hope you are joking…

    He is completely joking about the rabies and vet. Both my babies had their rabies shot and up to dye on shots. My arm is fine now I have been taking care of it. Thank ya for your concerns. Everything he wrote did happen he was just being silly with the whole voodoo magic.
