Today, I had a little problem. The pup and I were dozing on the grass at lunch in lieu of a walk. He saw a couple of crazy dogs headed our way. I saw them too. I was admiring his calmness when he bolted. The leash slipped through my hand. Good-bye skin. I tried to stand up to stop him, tripped over my own feet, lost a shoe, and fell. Good-bye more skin.
When I assessed the damage, I was missing patches of skin all over my hands and my knees. There was blood. There was pain. I was not a happy camper. So, I washed everything with soap and water and sat down to give myself some reiki. A short while later, I was much improved. The bleeding had pretty much stopped (except for one knee) and everything was starting to close over. I didn't even really need to use bandages.
Yay for reiki.
Sounds painful. Glad you had tools to help make it feel better!

Did Atlas come back to make sure you were okay? Buddy does that and as soon as he knows I'm alright he takes off again. I'm glad you're okay.

after he made sure the dog knew that he was big and tough .. then he came back. clearly his priorities are all wrong. ;)
