Would I have rabies?
My 4 dogs were attacking a squirrel. The squirrel was perched up on the edge of a glass window and the dogs were jumping up trying to bite it. My cousin, brother and I called the dogs over and some came over and I picked one dog up to carry him away but as my cousin picked up another dog, he noticed blood. He told me to put him down and I did and ran a few feet away. I noticed blood all over me and I went in the house and washed it off. I went back out to the garage to find my boyfriend’s tie I had around my neck. I left it out bc it was bloody too. I had nylons on and the dogs jumped around me with the bloody claws and I found out one scratched my leg. If his claw was bloody with squirrel blood, can I get rabies with the tiny scratch they gave me?
I have a horrible headache now. Symptoms? 
Headache can be a sign of rabies.. I doubt you have it, but.. you should go to the doctor to make sure.
What To Know Before Owning A Tibetan Spaniel
For a person seeking a dog breed that is more cat-like, a Tibetan Spaniel fits the bill. The breed has a high need for companionship and do not like being left alone for long periods of time. The dog resembles a cat in that it loves to perch on window sills and relax in the sun, sometimes appearing to be stand-offish in nature. The breed works out great for an older person who lives in an apartment, being provided with round-the-clock companionship is what the breed thrives on. However, a person should never mistakenly believe the breed is suitable for a home with small children because it is not true. Children could end up teasing the dog or playing too rough and the dog will end up biting out of fear or pain. In the worst case scenario, the dog may become timid and hide out, refusing to budge when kids are present.
A Tibetan Spaniel also makes a great watchdog, in fact this is the reason they were bred for in Tibet. Monks bred the dogs to sit high up on monastery walls and guard them, barking when any stranger was detected near the walls of the sacred temple. The dog barks when it believes a stranger is approaching, but is not aggressive by nature.
The Tibetan Terrier does not require a high level of exercise to be happy and content. The dog is small and sturdy and can get enough activity simply playing in the backyard of the home. The breed can be a bit of an escape artist and knows how to use its paws to unlock gates or doors. Tibetan Terriers can be a playful breed at times and does need to have periods of quite time to relax. The dog is not known for barking excessively if it is around loved ones, however, when left alone for long periods of time the dog can grow anxious and become destructive. The breed is best if not left alone for hours at a time and will grow bored and chew. Otherwise when left alone the dog will bark constantly and become the neighborhood pest. Animal control may be visiting and the dog could end up being the scourge of your block. Since a Tibetan Terrier is by nature quiet when around others, the best thing to do for the dog is to make sure you have enough time and patience to devote to taking care of him or her.
In a home with another small dog, a Tibetan Terrier will adapt well and the two should get along happily. The breed generally accepts and bonds well with other animals, even if the dog isn’t a puppy. However, it is important to bear in mind the Tibetan Spaniel will shed quite a bit and requires a regular grooming schedule to maintain coat health. With some thought and considerations made, a Tibetan Spaniel can make an adoring and lovable addition to any home; endearing itself to everyone it meets.
