[Kaderin Triste]

Got my hand warning-chomped by a handsome malamute-looking doggo today. My fault entirely. I mistook his excited jumping as a happy action and when I went in for a pet, my movement was probably misconstrued as a threat and he gave me a little chomp. But nothing too serious. An itty bitty skin break (which has been thoroughly washed and sanitized) and potentially some light bruising based on how my hand feels.
I assured the owner (who was there and who allowed me the attempted pet or I wouldn't have gone for it at all) that I was fine and it wasn't their doggo's fault and will go to work a little early tomorrow so I can apologize to the doggo for the misunderstanding. (Because he is a sweet boy who didn't mean to hurt me, he was just protecting his family.)
