I had similar life insurance thoughts (while still married) when I got a big scratch while crushing the head of a troublesome raccoon with a sledge axe. Rabies is very serious and easily treatable disease. However, if it goes too long and once signs appear, the chances of treating it is not good. Even though I jest about red neck raccoon recipes, please stay on top of things and make sure the test was done with the raccoons brain intact. It is highly improbable that you got rabies from your dog saliva, but please be safe.
