Me and my dog, Bayley are often called partners in crime, mostly because we get each other in trouble or we would get in trouble together. One incident that happened a few years ago, I was walking into the livingroom, where Bayley was, to do something, and all of a sudden, Bayley started barking and growling at me for no apparent reason. I told him to "shut up. I didn't do anything to you this time!" Mommy and Hannah heard me say this to Bayley. When I went back to the bedroom, where Mommy and Hannah were, they asked me, " So other times, you did something to Bayley?" or something to that effect.
There have been several times that Bayley has bit me, mostly because I was messing with him and irritating him. Almost all the the times were when I was supposed to be doing my school. I really only remember one time that he bit me and it wasn't my fault. Most likely the most memorable time though was when I was getting a small snack before brushing my teeth to go to bed. While I was eating,I started to mess with Bayley. During that time, I some reason decided that I wanted to see what would happen if I beeped him on the nose with my big toe. I should have known that he would have bit my toe. When he bit my toe, I wrapped my toe with a paper napkin and put my sock on. It was several days before I told Mommy. The scar took a long time to go away after that incident. I think this was the last time he bit me.
Even through all this, me and Bayley are still good buddies. And now I have also been dubbed as his 'potty pal' because I am the primary person that takes him out to potty.

Yes, I'd say your sentiments are about right. (That most of the time when Bayley has bitten you, you provoked it). It still doesn't make it right or easier to deal with though, does it? It still hurts when his teeth sink into your skin. You've learned a lot though and know you cannot just do anything around him. Puppies have feelings too, dont they? :)
