Glad to hear you both still doing okay and I saw that you had an appt. with your primary doc plus I knew, if the E.R. you went to anything like those here, they beat you over the head and get in your face about the need to finish the series of rabies shots and tell that you could die of rabies if you don't! You have to sign special forms, you get a copy, etc., and the doc must report the bite to authorities to be sure the public is kept safe. A bite from a dog or other critter can become a serious public health problem should the animal be rabid so bites are treated very seriously here. More than one nurse plus your doctor usually tells you all of this. Someone likely will follow-up with you to be sure your completed your rabies series and your dog, too, if it wasn't current on its rabies vax.
