What A Morning

[Pam]

He did say it was one of the most graceful falls he had seen in a long time.

Liz I know that had to put a smile on your face! There is nothing like going through something like that and have someone interject a little humor. A couple of years ago I fell on some ice in the parking lot at my work. I was holding some mail and as I went down I was thinking only of the mail and hoping I didn't drop it and it would blow away! Of course after I got up my next concern was who had watched my little escapade and how silly I must have looked on the way down!

It sounds to me like Smokey should get a nice juicy steak for being such a good boy! Also, the lady who grabbed Maggie's leash certainly was your guardian angel. It might have been a crazy morning but it turned out well anyway. I hope you don't feel too banged up tomorrow. "The day after" can sometimes be worse than the actual fall.

Oh my! I agree with the others - we've all been there! At least you or the pups weren't seriously injured, our pride usually recovers pretty quickly after a laugh or two over it. What a good boy Smokey was! Sherman got away from me at the pet store once, ran all over the stupid parking lot till he figured which way led into the pet shop, silly boy.
Enjoy an ice pack, a couple asprin, & a nice cup of tea.

Goodness!!
Glad you didn't get too hurt!
Sounds like Smokey was getting into the store with our without you!

Well, I have two big reasons to praise Smokey today.No running off
in the parking lot & for being such a good boy at the grooming salon.
I was worried that he would freak out with the dryers like last tme he
was there. The girl who did them both said he was an "obsolute doll"

It's funny, Smokey literally pranced around the house for for an hour
after we got back home. I was so proud of him.

Maggie turned out to be the drama queen.
That's just because it was her first time having someone else bath &
groom her. I'm sure she will be better next time.

My knee still stings but, all in all, turned out to be a good day.

As they say, all's well that ends well. And despite the scraped knee and the , for all intents and purposes, this story had a happy ending - especially considering the other turns it could have taken. Having two that like to do the ring around the rosy with the leashes myself, I vow that forever forward it's only one at a time to PetsMart. Even trying to navigate one with a purse on the arm can be a challenge.

Awww, c'mone!

Go for THREE on a 3-way Y-thingie!

That always gets the Jaw-Drop Look from the folks on the registers!

The greatest problem is keeping track of all Three MOUTHS when we walk down
the bulk treat & toy aisles! But they're always appreciated in the food aisles if there's a broken bag.

And you haven't lived till you're in the middle of a Three-Way Snarl-Up!

Yikes - that hand has to hurt. I hope it feels (and looks) much better today.

You sound the the voice of experience here Pam. you're right too.

My right hand was very sollen last night & today it's purple & sore. I must
have made a two point landing & also hit the heel of my hand. The ice packs
do seem to help a lot.
