Subject: [pyrnet] Newman and
obedience
well, remember how newman almost brokr my finger when i
grabbed his collar? well, he was bouncing off the walls this
morning...i swear he knows when it's saturday and we're going to obedience
class. so, i took him out for a walk. we ran into someone else walking their
dog on the other side of the street. newman wanted to run over to see them,
and took off...my feet slipped on the wet pavement, went out from under me,
and he dragged me a couple of feet ( i went to the texas med clinic, and it's
not only broken, but it's a displaced fracture, so now i have to see an
orthopedist asap to see if they want to do anything more drastic than the
splint.
i do love that dog, but i sure wish we'd gotten to the "damn it
STOP" command in obedience class. ironically enough, he graduated as
"best in class".
I am so sorry you got injured today! Something similair happened to me
when Beau saw his arch enemy (the UPS man). And took off after him. My foot
went into a hole and I fell and was dragged several feet. Until Beau realized
I had fallen. And sheepishly came back to see if mommy was hurt. My ankle was
completely numb for several minutes. And luckily it was only a severe sprain.
But I was on crutches for several days. And yes. Beau graduated second in his
class at obedience school! Been there. Done that.
