In the evenings hubby, the boy and I play with the dogs outside. Hubby and I have a beer and we just chill after a long, hot day of work.
I use this opportunity to work on Naiah's training some. I've been letting her off leash sometimes, however in the evenings, when the small woodland creatures are afoot I have her drag a 20ft. line behind her. I do this because although I do trust her training and my ability, when she sees one of these said creatures all bets are off, so I must have some control (in addition to the electronics of course.
So tonight, she's dragging around this line and doing well with "lets go" (this means walk in the same direction as I am, not necessarily beside me), sit/stays etc. So I have my beer, and hubby as his and I put Naiah in a sit/stay where he is standing. I walk about 50 feet away from her to do a recall.
I say "Naiah come" and she takes off toward me......little did I know that the 20ft. line was wrapped around hubby's feet!
The next thing I know, his feet fly out from under him, his beer goes flying through the air end over end and down he goes! He pounded the cement walking stones right on his ribs, it looked much like slow motion!
Both dogs were trying to comfort him while he was down, none of which he wanted a part of.
I ran to his aid, except I was laughing so hard I was crying so I couldn't talk very well! I know what you're thinking, "what a bitch, I can't believe she is laughing while her husband is wreathing on the ground in pain". I can understand that opinion, and I wasn't laughing at HIM I was laughing at how funny the situation was. If it were me, I would laugh at myself, after I recovered of course!
Now, I'm thinking he's broken ribs and maybe other things cuz his legs went pretty high off the ground. He is so damn hardheaded he won't let me take him to the hospital (not to mention the fact that he's pissed that I'm laughing about it).
So due to an unfortunate set of circumstances, this has happened. Yes, he could have broken ribs, internal bleeding and possibly a punctured lung but he has to be hardheaded and stay home.
Part of the reason for me writing this is to share this once in a lifetime Jackass worthy moment with you, another reason is to have proof that I did in fact TRY to get him to seek medical care!
I will try to stop giggling now! (And I strained my calf muscle running to his aid! :-()
