Anyone up for some for lunch?
We have two dogs, Damn Dog 1 (DD1) and Damn Dog 2 (DD2). DD1 is indoor and DD2 is outdoor. (Anyone with problems with the concept of an outdoor dog is more than welcome to have a Jack Russell/Treeing Walker Coonhound mix in their house for a week, and they should let me know what if anything is left of their home after that. But I digress.) DD1 is rather a leash puller, and like an idiot I sometimes forget to put on the choke collar when we go for walks. I did this once in the snow, and DD1 pulled me flat onto my back, my head narrowly missing the corner of the garage. This resulted in a flare lasting the better part of a week.
So, armed with the memory of this event, what do I do today in the rain and mud? Why, take DD1 out without the choke collar again, of course! This resulted in me being pulled to my knees and smacking the side of my knee on the driveway concrete. And of COURSE whenever I fall he cowers down like he's going to be beaten. Yeah, dog, I fling myself to the ground right before I beat you. It's an obscure Lithuanian ritual. Oh, wait... :P
At any rate, I am off to apply Band-Aids and boil the water for a nice round of Dog Stew. Should be plenty for all.
