This is weird.

I have a scratch on my back. Reaching back to figure out why that spot was itchy, my hand encountered a slightly flaky scab. I got Piet to investigate, and he discovered it was a slightly-infected, inch-long scratch a bit to the left of centre between my shoulder blades.

I don't have the foggiest idea how I acquired it.

We cleaned it, polysporined it, and put a bandage on it.

But it's weird. How does one acquire a scratch in a spot one can barely reach, without being aware of it?

It comes from not ensuring that your spouse has properly trimmed his/her nails *giggles*

Heh... I end up with unexplained bruises and scratches all the time. I think my cats actually sneak up on me while I'm in a deep sleep and claw the hell out of my limbs and back.

Though - and in line with the previous comment thread ;-D - the fang marks are all Frazer. That boy has the largest canines I've ever seen without the person being one of those people who has cosmetic dental work done.

I've had that happen to me before, usually at night, although it happens sometimes when you have animals in the house too. Never on the back, though, usually the arms or legs for me.
