Yesterday started as a Saturday like any other Saturday … until I woke up. My wife had been replaced by our 50 lb. poodle who was hogging most of the bed. The reason?
Yes, Kevin, a sub-10 lb. Shih-Tzu arrived on Friday and terrorized my wife and youngest daughter all night while I snoozed blissfully unaware. Here’s Kevin in action during the day.
That went on much of Friday and apparently into the night. I can’t confirm the latter. Zzzz.
That chaos continued on Saturday. Somehow, I snuck off on the pretense of biking to the bank and came home with this surprise. WARNING: Not for the faint of heart.
That’s my second bloody cycling accident this year, and it’s not even cycling season yet. It was a brisk bike ride at 38F/3C in shorts yesterday. I started to bike around a closed gate (don’t they realize that gates can’t contain me?), thought better and made a quick stop. Leg, meet pedal.
I felt like a serial killer as I showered and watched the water run red off my leg. That and knowing I have a body in the freezer. Stop calling the police! It’s just a frozen chicken in the freezer.
As I tended to my wounds, I also confirmed that I now have shingles for at least the third time or possibly the fourth. Just on my legs for now and doesn’t bother me that much.
One good thing that came out of Saturday was an idea for a short story inspired by my last blog post. Yep, I’m writing a short story about this picture.
Will it be weird? Duh! Will it be any good? I guess we’ll see.
Finally, despite the chaos of the dog movie earlier, I want to assure all 3 of you readers that no dogs were hurt as a result of the filming.
