Long Day

Harlow is smiling and running - how nice.

Here is the gallery.

I think the world has gone crazy. I slipped and fell catching the fall with my left wrist on our front landing. I had run out of deicer and was going out to warm up the car for Nathan to go to the doctors - just a checkup. I also had my side door registering as it was open but frozen. It was tense but I could talk about the side car driver in my car but I won't. I will talk about Pet Valu where I stopped to get deicer. I don't shop there but I drove by there to come home. It was an experience. They had lineups down the front of the store - the door was wide open so I entered. He said no, no, no. What do you want? I said deicer. He said throw your card on the ground and I will ring it up. I said WHAT. He said if you want the deicer throw your card and I will ring it up. So I threw the debit card. Never had to put a pin in and he rang it up. I am confused. I guess he waved it for me. I didn't feel good about this process but off I went home.

Dogs were excited to see me. Ellie had a spa experience. My wrist hurt but now its the whole arm so I am going to make aleve my pal. I took one and it did nothing.

I am tired. Dogs jumped all over me in the recliner today. Made my day. Tomorrow I am going to try a new game with them. I am still jazzed the washer is running. I know silly but no handwashing for me. I suck at it. LOL How can anyone suck at handwashing but I do. We all suck at something, I imagine.

I can't move when I lay down. I have to play dead or they kiss me all over!

So sorry you hurt yourself, Darlah! I hope you feel better soon.

That Pet Valu sounds extremely weird... I work at a pet store too as you know, and we are really not supposed to touch customers' cards. And if we do have to, we sanitize it immediately afterwards.

Weird experience at Pet Valu. Darlah I am so afraid of falling. They have these boots with grips on the bottom.

Oh no poor you Darlah. What an awful day. I’m so sorry about your hand. I feel bad you did Ellie. you shouldn’t have but thank you 🙏 she looks adorable.

Please put your wrist on ice and even think about a soft wrist splint to help it heal faster.
I hope you didn’t break your wrist .
Rest , ice , elevation !!!!

Oh no Darlah! You can't afford to be injured right now. Now you need Dennis to wrap you in bubblewrap until Nathan heals. Be careful out there....

February 10, 2021 | Unregistered CommenterJodi Altman

You know something - that may work for the wrists while grooming. I am going to try bubble wrap!

February 11, 2021 | Registered CommenterDarlah

You know I actually tried some bubble wrap but made grooming rather difficult. Have to laugh!
