Training Day

Oh my. Sinta has bit his tongue before, but never like this. We were training at the high school and by the time we were done it looked like an episode of CSI. There was blood everywhere. He would shake his head and send it flying in all directions. Even the team from CSI would walk in and think “WTF??”

It started with his drug toy. He was playing a little rough and ends up biting his tongue, or through his tongue, I couldn’t really tell. I take him outside and he lays in the snow, playing with his toy. By the time he gets up, it looks like we have killed a deer on this spot. Sinta sits up and it looks like he has been shot in the mouth, but he is clearly not in pain. It doesn’t seem to be bothering him at all. I would have been off work for three weeks. He looked a lot worse than this but by the time I got my camera out, he had started cleaning himself up.

The bleeding stops and a little later, we do a building search. He bites the sleeve and the faucet gets turned back on. I thought it had stopped so I put him back in the car. Yeah….didn’t stop. My car looks like a scene from one of those cheesy haunted houses you go during Halloween.

All in a days work for Sinta. Glad it wasn’t me. I don’t handle pain so well.

Jim, your dog is bad ass. He looks like it just ate somebody.

Probably wants one of those tongue studs all the kids are getting.

Merry Christmas to you and yours Jim!

Oh my gosh! This is funny - just show this image to the bad guys and watch them give up :-)

Poor Sinta deserves a Christmas break. Tell him to rest up!

He is still smiling!

And you want me to let Sinta sink his teeth into me just for a good photo? Not a chance! When I looked at the photo I thought that Sinta may have gotten a hold of some animal or better yet, a bad guy.

As long as it wasn't Santa's butt he bit! Hope he gets better faster than you think you would have! Take the rest of the holidays off Sinta and just send the old man in to work!

Merry Christmas to all!
