“Where did those scratches come from?” What excuse do you give?

Two of my dogs love to jump up on the couch and lay on or near me. When an evil "other dog" is detected behind my house (there's a walking trail) they jump up and off to bark at them. That has legitimately lead to scratches so if I end up with scratches some other way that's my explanation.
 
Where do they sell those socks that you see the dogs wearing in those movies? How do people make them?
 
Im new here, but I thought this would make for an interesting topic.

Have you ever had to make an excuse? If so, what was it?
I had scratches for my friends pit breeding my and knotting me. I was completely naked and loved the feeling of his paws scratching me up.my mother saw the scratches and asked what happened. I told her it was from my job, I'm an arborist, it was tree branches from a tree I took down earlier. I think she suspected something never said anything else.
 
Horse = no scratches.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but don't horses nip when they are really getting into things. Teeth marks are sort of like scratches have you ever had to explain that, or is your equine not as mouthy as some I've met. Although I guess it's only the stallions I'm thinking of.
 
Scratches, I've had a few, but I work with dogs it comes with the territory, but "those" scratches are easily avoided with a decent shirt or a nail trim if you prefer to go bareback with your special canine.

My horse has never bitten me...and I never restrain him or tie him to anything, sexual situation or otherwise. There are specific reasons why a horse will bite. Among them: being frustrated or aggressive, and I never give him a reason to be either of those, of course. Another can be a reaction to a saddle being too tight in the girth or otherwise uncomfortable. The main cause of biting, as I was taught, is if you've gotten him used to hand feeding, as with treats. Not because of bites while taking it from you, but it's when you go to him without a treat, and that is not due to anger.

Thanks to you, he feels very entitled to that treat. There is nothing wrong with healthy treats! But they should never come from your hand for the reasons just stated. He may bite or pull at your clothes, pockets or hands, arms, etc. looking for food, not intending to hurt you, but without knowing he might.
