Walking the driveway
My 11 year old umbie Elizabeth - shes the love of my life. Last night i was with my brother and boyfriend at our kitchen table and had her perched beside me. Everything was going good, until i reached to rub her head and she delivered the worst bite ive ever endured. Now shes my baby -we cuddle, shoulder rides, shower time - the works. She has NEVER drawn blood in the 5 years ive had her, but this time the "meat" of my thumb is exposed, and it wont stop bleeding like i actaully may need stiches. Now i know they are wild animals - with no prediction in actions or behaviors. But i cant understand why she woulsd bite so hard. She is not jealous twards my brother- he holds her. And she doesnt like David(my bf) but we dont show affection when shes out or can see us. I am at a loss on how to handle this - she seemed remorseful afterwards making her little coo's trying to tuck her head as i imedietly put her back in her cage. Does she know what shes done? How can i reprimand her? HELP
