Okay, so today, I worked in the Pet Resort walking dogs. Was having fun actually. Was feeling better. And it was busy to the point where it wasn't "pull my hair out" busy. So, that's always a good thing.
Well, we have this puppy, a husky, staying with us. Poor puppy had broken his leg a month ago. So, he was in a splint.
It was really dirty, and slipping off his leg, since it had rained last night and we didn't put a bag on his leg because he was the first dog we walked and I didn't realize how bad it was until we got out there.
WELL, I called over to the hospital (which was across the street), and told them I was bringing the puppy over. I drove over, like I had done millions of times before with other dogs.
I lifted the dog out of my car, so he wouldn't have to jump down with his broken leg. Had ahold of the leash. However, when I turned around to shut the door, he saw something and booked it. The leash slid right through my hand. Now, there is no leash, and my job is RIGHT on the busy road. A VERY busy road. He started running towards it.
Slow at first. I sped up, and so did he. I almost had his tail so that I could grab it and then jump on him, but my foot hit the curb wrong and I went HEAD FIRST right into the cement/road. I didn't hit my face, but my arm, elbow, and right leg is messed up pretty badly.
Luckily, a client was walkign his dog and saw me fall. He came to the rescue and the little puppy went to them wanting to play. THANK GOD.
I grabbed the leash and took him inside and collapsed on the floor in the treatment room. After they asked if I was okay and if the dog was okay, they all started bustin' out laughin at the situation.
Crazy day...crazy crazy day...haha.
