Okay, so I need to walk my two dogs 3-4 times a day now, as we are having a new roof installed, and the old roof is lying in bits and peices around the yard. So yesterday afternoon, I'm getting ready for a semi-formal dinner with my husband and his boss and his wife - The one night of the year when he expects me to look nice and behave myself.
I was showered, dressed and ready to go, when I remembered to walk the dogs. So I snap the leashes on and head out for their afternoon constitutions. As we were crossing the rural highway in front of our house on our way back, during rush hour, Byron - whom I've taken to calling "Bubba Gump" - decides to trip me up. Down I went, flat on my face! And both dogs came crashing on top of me. My mouth and nose hurt so bad, I had tears in my eyes. I was sure I'd knocked out a couple of teeth. I was sure my nose was a bloody mess. I lay there and said into the pavement, "Byron, I'm gonna f*&@&*g kill you!".
Then I remembered that I was lying in the ,middle of the road at 4 p.m.! So I hopped up and ran, practically carrying Nula, onto the sidewalk. I was fine, no blood, no teeth left on the road, nothing but some scraped knuckles. It's a good thing I don't break easily! The one thing that hurt the worst was my pride, as the roofers had seen it all and were holding their sides with laughter...

If there are no dogs in Heaven, then when I die I want to go where they went.
Hey, I'm always happy to put a smile on someone's face! I was actually laughing about it at the dinner that night when a friend asked why my nose was red and puffy.
My husband was calling it a "2 dog pile-up on rte. 159"!
Toodles!
At least you and your pups are fine. How'd the party go after? How about you the next day?
Last time I did a great splut with my two I was supposed to show a friend's GSD in conformation in 30 minutes. My ankle was so messed up I wasn't wable to put full weight on it for a week and running- well- that didn't happen well for a few months.
Glad you weren't seriously hurt.

Thanks! The next day, I was stiff and somewhat sore all over (don't bounce as well as I used to, I guess), but my nose; I have really long hair and the slightest breeze will blow it into my face, even if it's in an elastic, so it tickles my nose a lot. Everytime I had an itch, I'd go to scratch it without thinking first, and oh! did that hurt! But it's totally better, now.
