Hi all!  Thank you to everyone who replied to me with encouragement.
Thank you also for not being too hard on me.
 
Pogo just bit me.  Not a nip...bit me.  I don't understand why he is doing
this.  He has never broke skin with me before (only my husband).  I have
been letting him out everyday,playing with him, etc.  The boys have been
out for a couple hours.  We have played, taken pictures,cleaned ears,
clipped nails.  I was sqeeking his fav stuffed toy...he came to get it
and when I put it down he attacked me.  Bit down on my hand and started
shaking it around then latched onto my arm when he lost his grip.  I think
I handled it well.
 
I scruffed him pointed and said NO!  (ok so I yelled no ).  I put him in
the cage for a few minutes then got him back out.  Loved on him although
he wanted none of it.  Now he is contently playing with Chance.
 
I don't understand why he does this.  He doesn't seem scared when it
happens it's like he just snaps.  Does anyone have any ideas why he is
doing this and what I can do about it.  These bites really hurt but more
than that it really hurts that he would do this to me.  (he didn't seem
to be playing either)

Pogo, Chance
