Or something. ;)

Hubby and I have massages schedule for Saturday. This is good. :) But man I could use it this morning! I don't know what I did yesterday, but my back/shoulders are killing me today.

In thinking about it, Kyle did give the leash a good yank last night... We were walking, and there was a cute Mallard couple enjoying the evening, huddled down in the grass, basking in the light from the lamppost... I saw them at least a minute before they got Mr. Kyle's attention. I thought I had a good grip on the leash, but he charged at them, the shortened bit I was holding slipped, the loop in my hand I DID have a good grip on, but he still was able to yank my shoulder. No worries though- for the ducks that is- he was still about 15 feet from them when he reached the end of his leash. Then he had to come sit by where I was standing so we could have a little talk. We walked by the Mallards, Kyle at a close heel, and while they got up and moved further from the light, as soon as we passed they went right back. (there's a marsh/pond area about 100 ft from where they were, and we see them often)

At the time I honestly didn't think he had tugged that hard... For the record- we use an Easy Walk Harness on Kyle- regular flat collars let him pull too much, chokes aren't something I like much, and didn't work, and the Gentle Leader head halter sorts of things didn't work with him either... The clip for the Easy Walk is in the front- so if Kyle pulls too hard he spins around - putting his back to whatever was making him crazy. It's kinda funny, but doesn't happen all that often anymore as he's learning to walk in a heel position.

In any case- my shoulders really hurt this morning. And because I'm doing the 'Prednisone burst' per my neurologist- I can't take any anti-inflammatories. I can has massage now? Oh, and I actually remembered to take my prednisone this morning! (I kinda forgot to take it yesterday... oops)

I do feel a bit more awake today... *grins* As my posting/commenting may attest... You may regret this...

Yeah... if it had been Sasha, she'd have gotten those mallards.
