Once bitten, twice stupid?

On Good Friday I got bitten by a dog for the first time in 14 years delivering Liberal Democrat leaflets. Last night I got bitten again! This time the bite was on the other hand (but still the middle finger), it was also deeper and hurt more. What am I doing wrong, have I forgotten how to deliver? Are there more dogs? Will I lose a finger before the end of the Local Election campaign?

Anyway a local resident give me some tissues and allowed me to wash my finger in her sink - I finished the round (there was only a little bit left to do), washed it properly and put a plaster on and then went out for canvassing. After Canvassing I tried to go to A&E but there was a four hour wait and I thought I might try later today instead.
