Recuperation

A lot of dogs chase vehicles. It takes a certain amount of skill to catch the damn things. Molly’s run-in with the EMS Ambulance left her bruised and abraded, cut and torn, and suffering a cracked hip-bone. In the picture below you can see some of the damage. You can also see that she has good pain medication and that sometimes a girl just needs to kick back and heal.  That gray thing she’s looking at is her bed, and she’s just trying to figure out how to climb aboard in the most painless way possible.

    Oh, what a sweet looking pup. I am glad to hear she’ll be okay. Maybe she’ll learn to chase things smaller than her?

    It’s really, really good to see her too.

    Sorry to read about the accident Frank, but it looks like Molly will recover. Mind you, she well may develop a vehicle phobia rather than the desired road phobia.

    All the best for all of you.

    Either phobia would be fine with me, Stu. I just hope she doesn’t try to figure out what she did wrong the last time she caught an ambulance in order to do it right next time.

    Good news, Frank. I’m a firm believer in wisdom through calamitous learning experiences.

    [...] Almost a year ago I was in San Francisco at BloggerCon n and Jeneane told me to give Doc a hug for her. Mumbling ascii down the chat line to Jeneane, I allowed as how I like Doc a lot but we don’t hug, exactly… shucks. And Jeneane says, well I should give Jory a hug for her then and that was easier for me to — um — get my arms around. So there I was in an unconference room with Mike Arrington maundering on about how ill treated he is and how the meanies in his comment space make him feel bad and somehow that has something to do with blogging core values. Steve Gillmor was in a seat against the back wall wearing a scowl and in a mood as foul as Arrington’s.  I split for the lobby where I wouldn’t have to listen to that crap. Jory was in the lobby, busy with business but gracious enough to allow an interruption and I gave her Jeneane’s greetings and she hugged me. It was a sweet hug after which the world seemed a nicer place. All this was before I received the phone call about Molly’s accident. [...]
