Well, Smokey's classes were almost over before he even
began. I had a bad car wreck on the way to work this a. m.
I hit another car that cut across three lanes of traffic and
drove right in front of my car. My air bag did not inflate
& I hit the steering wheel very hard with my chest. The pain
was intense & I thought sure my ribs had been broken.After
a ambulance ride to the emergency room, x-rays & tests, no
broken bones, but a badly bruised sternum. Hurts like heck.
I kept thinking, I can't be laid up with broken bones, what
about my furkids at home? They need me.
Anywho, I'll be off work probably till Monday, and guess what?
Moki learned to go down steps by himself today(with a little urging)as I can't lift him without major pain. Boy, that was scary!!!

btw, these classes teach basic stuff, like sit, down, stay,
to come when called, etc. Mostly for socialization, which I
think will be fun. Moki's seems to like everything(people &
other dogs, even kitties) I didn't start formal classes with
Buddy until 6 mos, so this will be different for me.
