You've taken in another dog?
Or bike?
Not quite, though I do sometimes say there's room here for another dog.
I was out with the dogs this evening. Oldest is 10 and has arthritis (though you wouldn't think it) so we put a coat on him when it's cold.
Wife was due home from work at 20:00. At 19:20 I was out along the golf course a few miles from home, and twisted my knee (again - it's fubar'd, 4 ops to this knee).
So there I am a few miles from home, and about 15/20 min walk from the nearest road - but I couldn't walk.
I took the dog's coat off to sit on (ground covered with snow)and have a think about what I'm going to do (I don't carry a mobile). So I laid on my injured side on top of the coat and started so crawl/slide/drag myself towards the road.
Wife comes home from work, no me, and more importantly no dogs. by 21;00 she's getting worried. She finally set's off with a friend to try and find find me and the dogs somwhere in vicinity of the golf course.
They found me at around 22:30 about 50 yards from the road, I'd been crawling in the snow towards for 3 hours by now.
She's most pissed off that our old boy has been out in the cold (thermometer in car showed -7) for 4 hours or so without his coat on - and it's all my fault !!! If he shows signs of stiffness in the morning then I'm really in for it!
