Dog chews off woman's lower lip while she slept
By SHARON E. CRAWFORD

WARNER ROBINS, Ga. -- Police have determined a family pet ate off a
woman's bottom lip while she was sleeping last week.
Warner Robins police detective Karen Stokes said Thursday there was no
evidence of a crime committed against a 47-year-old woman who said she
woke up last Friday to find her bottom lip gone. Police determined the
woman's poodle chewed off her lip while she was in a drug-induced sleep.
Although the woman's family members believe an unknown chemical caused the
injury, the woman admitted to police that she frequently allowed her
1-year-old poodle, "Shorty," to lick her lips after she drank sweet tea.
She also told them her dog had taken her false teeth out of her mouth
several weeks earlier and chewed them up while she slept.
"The (doctors) found no trace of chemicals on the tissues they looked at,"
Stokes said. "We have determined it was the dog that caused the injuries."
A call to the woman's North Houston Road residence was not returned
Thursday.
Elaine Stewart with the Houston County Health Department said officials
also haven't been able to reach the victim about her dog. According to
state law, an animal is supposed to be quarantined for 10 days following
an animal bite to check for rabies.
"A lot of people think we are going to put down their dogs and they are
very protective of their animals," Stewart said Thursday. "If the people
are cooperative, we actually allow home quarantine, where the animal can
remain at home."
The woman told police she took the pain medication Trazodone and drank
sweet tea shortly after 10 p.m. May 24 and woke up at 9 a.m. May 25 to
find her bottom lip was missing. While police officers searched the house
for the woman's lip, they checked the dog and found traces of blood around
the animal's mouth.
The woman was treated and released from the Houston Medical Center. Stokes
said the victim will have to have reconstructive surgery to reconstruct
her lip, using skin from her buttocks area.

Whoooohoooo -- what the hell is that?? Horse tranquilizer?! I can't imagine
sleeping through something chewing off your lip. Methinks she's overmedicating
a wee bit.

More than a wee bit; actually a wee bite. It's a good thing she didn't
keep a pit
bull as a pet. By the time she got through with reconstructive surgery,
she'd
have to stand for the rest of her life.
Getting serious for a change: the story doesn't sound right. What
dog bites
its owner's flesh? And why bite and not stop? And how can a woman keep
a dog in
her house knowing the dog has prevented her, at least temporarily, from
making
labial sounds? In fact, unless the dog has a pure vocalic name, such as
EEEE, or
OOOOO, how can she even call the dog to her? I mean how can she call
Spot without making it sound like she's calling her dog a drunkard?
Another question: Will this woman continue to sleep
with the dog like she used to?
Ah, give me cats any day! At least my pet kitty knows the
difference between
tuna fish and my index finger; that's why I'm typing this message with
both hands.

Sort of gives new meaning to "kiss my ass"...

Actually, it gives true meaning to the word "liposuction."

====8^OMG..... how bizarre can you get. She must have been damned near
death. Then again, they only found traces of blood around the dogs mouth.
Maybe she threw down a couple of cocktails with the Trazodone and decided
the lip was an appetizer.

Can you say "there's no law against being dumb but there are consequences???"
Letting your dog lick your lips after drinking sweet beverages.....er that's a
bit "beyond" the occasional K-9 kiss most dog lovers partake of every now and
then! And, if yappy removed your teeth from your mouth one night while you
slept wouldn't he be sleeping on the other side of a secure door hence forth?
Weird weird weird!!!

No one has mentioned the possibility that the dog may have been starving.

***Likewise, I don't think anyone has mentioned the possibility that it wasn't
sweet tea that the owner was drinking.

I doubt the dog was starving considering his evident indulgence but what prolly
happened was the dog thought its owner's lips were edible as it had been
"trained" that they tasted good and could be freely tasted. But the question
remains: what exactly do you have to be "on" to remain unconscious whiile your
lower lip is chewed off?

I think the question is "what do you have to be *off*?", and the
answer is "the wagon".
