ask me what I did on V-day ... It was expensive !

ok so I ve never really ever done anything on V-day before. But a lot did happen today !

I havent talked about this here yet, but I got a new black Cocker Spanial puppy about ten days ago. After calling him scottie, schumi, snoop dog, black dog, steven tyler, and obama, I finally settled for naming him PEPE. Oh its been fun, but a lot of work for mom and me. A major part of our day now involves cleaning up his pee and poop off the floor of every room in the house(his potty training needs a big upgrade). We ve tried a million tricks to coax him into doing his bussiness outdoors, including pouring water down his back legs and saying "do soo-soo" in the garden, but nothings worked yet. We finally just take him out every hour and stand around until his bladder co-operates !
Pepe darling s quite a looker, with his droopy chocolate brown eyes, jet black coat, silly walk, tiny tail, and seriously over grown ears, but he s got more than his share of bad habits ! From peeing indoors, to barking the roof down if he s left alone for even a second, to scratching the polish off the front door when he s left outside, to refusing to answer to his name, to eating unhealthy berries and rocks from the graden floor, to disturbing the cat when he napping, to begging for food permanently, to clumsily knocking things over. He s a serious trial on anyone's patience ! The worst of it is that he has a biting-habit. He tends to snap at your fingers if u make any sharp movements (he thinks its a game).
Ok I ll stop degressing. The point is that I got bitten, and the cut started bleeding :(
Wait ! It gets worse . He hasnt had his anti-rabies shots yet !
So I had to go get the anti rabies shots today at the hospital. Painful Painful Painful ! And it was so expensive, 20K for the first day(today), and I ve another dose scheduled for the 17th and then the 25th, and if the dog starts to show symptoms, then the vaccines have to continue ! I had a good mind to just tell the doctor I d rather take my chance with the virus, but my mom would'nt hear of it ! So this is my V-day story .... exciting, expensive, painful, and a serious injury to my dad s bank balance !

I'm interested in the precautions taken after dogbite, especially when rabies is a concern. How many shots did you get?
