I have learned that we can possibly get rabies not only from animal bites (dogs, cats, etc) but also from their scratches. Because these animals clean themselves using their mouth and teeth and tongue. The thing is if they get this type of shot regularly, it should be safe even if we give our hand to one as a teether. Well, my brother's dog had a shot but he thinks that was a year ago or so. Last Saturday, the dog got excited he jumped on my bare legs and slid down leaving a few marks on my legs. I sprayed rubbing alcohol and the fact that it did sting even if there was no sign of bleeding, we concluded that somehow his nails gone through my skin. So that was that. I had been advised by my sister-in-law who is a doctor to go and get a jab. I had three this morning, two on one arm and one on the other. The clinic is close on weekends. Not very pleasant at all. Oh well... Another photo from yesterday's glimpse on the river and the sea. A bit tough taking photos in a running car with quite tinted windows. Have a good Monday noise maties!!! #myphoto #Photography #thoughts

Your sister in Law is right, no choice.
Oh dear, hope you're recovering well from the dog bite.
