Re: Broken Bones w/ Fibro on the Side

[Guest guest]

Jane I agree....I have so much damage to my back and joints that I take each

of my three dogs out separately.

There must be some college or high school kid close by you that you can get,

or peek of Craigslist....or look on the net for qualified dog walkers near

you till you heal up.

Love and gentle hugs...Martha in Idaho where we are having Sun

> Would never wish this on anyone else. Had a nasty fall when walking my dog

last Saturday. He is in perpetual training as after adopting him -a big guy-

I discovered he is a dog who simply hates other dogs. (Well, some exceptions

the lady dogs are sometimes ok, BUT I try to never allow much with the

socializing since I can't entirely trust him). I work with a dog trainer but

am and always will be the amateur at this, and .. wow, did he ever shock me

with this one. My reflexes should have been better; should have switched to

my sronger arm, and ought to have MOVED to where he would have not had an

opportunity to have eye contact with the other dog. My mind does not work

quickly; I am so slow, and .. after a stare down, he erupted. Lunged, I held

on, tried reining him in, then somehow found myself flat on the sidewalk

being dragged toward the other dog. He did get lose, and I'm not even sure

how I got to my feet again, but I did and managed to grab the top of his

harness and drag him back. (Then he was calm .. too late; my left shoulder

ad arm hurt like hell). My friend who I'd been speaking to, , was there

and I think she must have helped me up.
