bitten again my my own clumsiness last night...i was playing with one of our dogs, sir ranulf, 125 lbs of lovable yellow lab and while narrowly avoiding ripping half my hair out, tore off a fingernail below the quick...it goes like this:
we are on the floor crawling around on all fours, happily growling and pushing each other across the living room floor when i manage to get a big chunk of hair tangled in his tags and collar...fun instanly turns to panic as i am trying to pin him down and free myself, and he is trying to get free, as being pinned is not his favorite thing, especially when choking and sneezing because in my desperate manuvering i have wrapped my ponytail around his nose...so we are now flopping and rolling around the floor, him trying to breath and me trying to keep my hair...i finally get us stable enough to try freeing my hair, only to realize it hoplessly tangled in his collar...i then start trying to remove the tie holing my ponytail, and in the process catch a nail which in my paniced rush to get free tears off... ranulf, happy to be free is now jumping around, on me planting a paw on my face, which miraculously does not give me a black eye...final score:
Sir Ranulf 2
Me 0
oh well...no one to blame but myself...perhaps i will do better in the rematch...stay tuned for round two

so, so true those genes of ours...i wish i had caught this on film, just as i wish i had caught so many our our various classic slips, falls, gaffs, and stumbles....ahhhh, what a true comedy classic could have been assembled had they all been caught on tape
