all we are missing is a search warrant

WOW what a mess today was well not all but part. Dale had to stay home because his eye was all swollen and pink.... the 1100 dr apt said pink eye but by 2 without meds the eye was clear.... but dr note said he cant return until wed to school so i have a half sickie....whole bored kid at home and running errands with me, he actually was a bit of a help ....but shhh don't tell him that. so we hit the store and decide to get essentials and i will return later this week for the rest... i announce what was for dinner....spaghetti...which he does not like ....so he asks if he can have wings ....fine we get his wings....day sailing along....ffwd to dinner dale is loving his wings, others are loving spaghetti.... dale did not recall my instruction to put his trash in garage can so dogs do not get the chicken bones.... and he places his trash in the utility room can that is dog head height. Reid starts screaming and crying that the dogs are eating the bones...so we pull from them what we can which was not much and estimate they ate about 4 wing bones.... kids are a mess thinking the dogs are going to die....I google it and decide to overfeed them dinner so that there is more mass to pass the bones and that we need to watch for extra moodiness or laziness .... so immediately they pick up on mom this is weird, mom look at this and that...so far nothing alarming

FFWD 10 mins.... Bevo the big dog is pestering the other dog .....100% normal behaviour .... Daddy comes in and sami decides she does not want to play anymore and apparently bit Bevos ear... Bevo goes to lay down and Duke asks why is he bleeding....its everywhere on him..legs...head...couch...we take him to the kitchen to access and he shakes his head to sling blood everywhere....i find the spot on his ear, try to stop it with a paper towel.... see that it is not a deep cut more like a scratch just on the tip of the ear. So my good dog sits still for me to prod and wipe and apply pressure.... seemed to have stopped and i go to put him in his bed and he shakes his head and again blood everywhere... after a bit of research we find that since it is so vascular it will bleed a lot.... when it bleeds it tingles and dog will shake head ....viscous cycle... this happens again and we get him in bed and I take Macy to gymnastics complete with blood spatter..... and reports are that dog is not bleeding.... come home get him out to check and head shakes and blood again .....finally at 900 i went to the store to get some styptic powder and pencil to try that after calling a vet who said they can not advise over the phone for liability ....what bs where is dial a nurse for dogs when you need it. so at Walmart 915 and a ton of kids are there on a school night ...shocking in my book as mine are home in bed....come home with a bone and liquid bandage and styptic pencil.... only relief was the liquid bandage....and the bone for him that he devoured in all of 10 mins ... it took me longer to check out with the bone than to eat it.... ok the ear well it has broke open with every head shake since and if he runs....uuuggg so to clean my house i spent the better part of 3 hours mopping and scrubbing walls and I am sure I missed plenty so no black light s will be turned on in my home as I am sure a horror scene had less blood spatter...so dog is in his bed and he is so good... no complaints just sits and takes the initial bite... walks away... takes all the treatment and messing....stays in his bed contently....and he is supposedly the aggressive dog... when it is the little dog who gives the bites... this is not the first time or second or third....and he never complains he does usually initiate the pestering however but he is only 1 and a totally puppy and wants to play.

Heres hoping to a drying up day .... for the rain outside and the ear inside
