Ask me a question, I guarantee an answer.
May not be the answer to your question but it will be an answer.

Did he bite and let go or did he hang on for a bit?

Hi

Ahhh!!!, Just consider it a hickey from your favorite little guy. (grin).

Take Care, TLB

p.s. - if he ever doe's it again, hold his head until he lets go so he can't do that ripping motion.

Looks like what happened to me, except it was my lip. And she help on alot more than 5 seconds whipping her head around. Drew some blood and a tiney chunk on my lip was missing.

LOL

I was just laying face down on my bed, and she was walking around. Then out of the blue, she walks up to my face and chomps down. I thought she was walking up to greet me, lol.
