Walking Dogs Can Be Deadly

Well, maybe not deadly, but it certainly can hurt from time to time. I got a call from my mom this morning and she said the dog beat her up. Mind you, they have a little yap-yap dog (a Shi Tzu, I think I'm spelling that correctly) with an aversion to physical activity, so naturally I was curious how it happened.

It turns out that Trixie (the dog-I didn't name her) bolted in front of my mother suddenly causing her to trip. The result-a busted lip and a wicked bruise on the right side of her face. While I couldn't help but chuckle a little, and am glad that both mom and dog are all right and able to laugh about it.
