It can happen in an instant and then take months to recover. Slip and falls happen everyday and in almost every place. Yesterday I slipped on a small bit of ice in my yard. One of my dogs decided to go off base I and just moved too quickly. As soon as I hit the ground I knew my right wrist was hurt. I could move it and I put ice on it right away so I was lucky. I probably have a sprain but it could have been a lot worse. Slow down and be careful.......it only takes an instant.

Hello Sheila,
A sprained wrist is very painful, and I hope that it is not limiting you too much. That darned ice is so dangerous!

Sheila, I've done the same myself...almost fell over in the pouring rain and would have landed right on Holly!

Sorry to hear you fell....I'm so afraid of walking on ice that I avoid being in that situation whenever possible. We just bought several bags of Ice Melt today for our walk and driveway. Hope you are feeling more comfortable soon!

Hi Lisa. It was just a stupid thing. Margie is smaller than Holly and got through the tines of the fence and was headed away....so I moved too quickly and fell. She's safe and I am aching but better. Sheila

Sheila: Yesterday, I saw a beautiful big dog with its leash hanging down and no owner. When I looked around, I saw a very elderly man who had lost his footing, rolled down an incline, and had gotten wedged between some rocks and a parked car. He was trying to get my attention by waving his cane. No kidding! My heart stopped. It took 3 men from nearby Cypress Inn (where he was staying) to get him unwedged and on his feet. Luckily, he said he was ok.

Hello Sheila,
I hope your wrist is healing quickly and your pups stay within their space...it sounds as if Margie is as spirited as Holly. 
Have a wonderful week!

Hi Lisa. Margie is indeed the ring leader for sure, but is weary of new people and animals. My protector. You have a good week too. Sheila
