Duncan and Collin's Accident
On Sunday, Collin and I took Duncan to the park down the street to play some ball with him. We brought the camera and were going to take some nice happy pictures of us all playing together...well that didn't happen! We were there about 15 minutes, I was getting the ball from Duncan because he will only come to me and giving it to Collin to throw because he throws farther. Well, Collin decided to kick the ball, like a football player punts it, I guess thinking it would go farther:confused:
And of course, as he goes to kick it, Duncan runs in front of him and Collin ends up kicking Duncan right in the head.!:( :eek:
I didn't really see what happened but I heard a THWUMP noise and turned around to see Collin rolling on the ground holding his leg and Duncan chasing after the ball. I was yelling, "what happened, what happened? I wasn't sure if Collin had hit Duncan or if that noise was his ankle breaking or what...So I'm panicking, Collin's rolling around in the mud in pain and not answering me and Duncan is off running around with his ball. Collin finally gets up and limps over to a nearby fence, still never says a WORD to me so I still have no idea what is going on but at least I know he hasn't broken anything since he's walking!
So I turn to Duncan, he comes running over with the ball and BLOOD COMING OUT OF HIS MOUTH!!! :eek: So NOW I'm flipping out. I immediately think that one of his teeth has been knocked out and start scanning the ground as I run to him. I take the ball which is covered in blood and look inside Duncan's mouth, all his teeth are still there Thank God. But he has a cut inside his top lip and it's a little swollen around the top lip in the front. He doesn't even seem to notice and just wants to keep playing ball. I on the other hand, was dying! Collin shows me his leg and he has a huge black and blue mark on his shin and a small cut on his ankle.
I pack up everything and get ready to go home wishing we had never come to the park to begin with....we leave, Collin limping, Duncan with a fat lip and me all shook up and covered head to toe in blood....what a mess.
And to top it off, Collin gets mad at me because I was more concerned about the dog than him! D*mn right! He's a grown man, he should have known better!! Duncan is an innocent bystander that got caught up in Collin's stupidity!! And truth be told, I always take Duncan's side ;)
So I think all is well now...Duncan seemed a little down this am so I'm going to keep an eye on him. His lip may have been sore after sleeping all night...Poor guy. :( Is there any treatment for it? Should I just watch it and make sure it's healing ok? I feel so bad for him, he's so bored with living in the apartment, he prefers to be with me alone,not me and Collin, I think he misses my father and my father's house(where we lived before NJ) and now this.....I think he needs a vacation!
