I suspect that there are those out there who have been wondering when the first injury or casualty of the training would happen.
Well -- it happened.
BUT, you may be surprised to know that it wasn't me. Okay, okay. To be honest, the last week has been a challenge for me (work, and the other half being out at night, mixed in with some parent-teacher meetings (all good) and school activities have hampered my activity.
BUT, THAT ISN'T THE CASUALTY! It was my poor training partner / dog-pal.
Those of you who know Monty, know that he is smart. However, evidently not smart enough to know that eating between a pound and a pound and a half of our CARPET is not such a good idea. Well, he did it, and spent 2 days trying to reverse his decision (literally) to no effect. We didn't know how much of the carpety-combestible he chose to imbibe, but due to his vomit-fest, I took him to the vet this morning. Well, he is now in the post-op ward having had a full abdominal laprotomy and removal of stomach contents. The photo included with this post is the contents - apparently a record for the hospital.
So, I'll be solo running for a few weeks, I'd guess....
Great dog, smart dog, and yet....so dumb!
