After all of that dry, boring town meeting stuff, I needed some frivolity in my blog. Well, it wasn’t funny at the time, but maybe it is now.
For several weeks I had to head to the bathroom when I didn’t need to go because if I waited until I did, it would be too late. Aah…being injured is so much fun. No wait. No it’s not.
Three days before I fell, I had the worst headache I had had in years. It made me so sick to my stomach that I had to go to bed. My boys were very concerned for me that day. They studied my face to see what was wrong. I even noticed them stopping their fighting game to come over and take care of me. I thought this was extremely sweet.
When I fell, though, they could not have cared less. They stood in front of me when I tried to walk. They attempted to drag me around the block. They jumped on my cantaloupe-sized knees. I got no sympathy for my injuries from them at all. So, what are the parameters for dog sympathy, I wonder? It certainly isn’t falling.

To find out how good my boys can be when they want to, pick up a copy of Dream Our World. Everyone who has read it says that they keep reading it over and over, each time catching new details. (Come on, give it a try!)
Dream Our World is available at Amazon.
Pippin says – Tucker and I express sympathy in the same way you and Toby do. Mom tells us the angel dogs were much nicer, but Tuck and I just look at her like – “so what?”
Bwahahaha! Growing up, Uncle’s dog was much nicer to Mommy than we two are. Who cares if she is hurt? As long as we get what we want we’re fine.
And then there are the injuries from falling over the dog! I hope you are back to normal after your fall.
I am afraid of tripping over one of these beasts now. I keep all the lights on so that I can see them even at night.
My uncle actually lost an eye tripping over one of their Labradors. I have a night light on too.
Hope your heal soon! Did I tell you how much I love the new book?
Aw, I am happy to hear that! As for the healing, it is very slooooow…
Lost an eye? That’s awful!
