I'm HORRIBLE!
Today was a beautiful day. School went well, and I was in an overall cheerful mood. With plenty of spare time, I decided to play with my dog out back. It started out good fun, I'd throw the frisbee and Duke would "run" to get it. I noticed my dog was panting VERY heavily...so I figured I'd do the ole' "I spray you with water, you run around the yard" game. Duke likes to run up to our deck when I do this, and we have no railing on our stairs going up to the deck. Being the smart boy I am, I decided I'd spray Duke from in front of him so he'd turn around. In a desperate attempt to get away from the water, Duke turned to his left to run back down the stairs. Little did our old pal know that there was nothing to his left. Next thing I knew, Duke was sliding off the stairs and hit the ground from about 3 ft up. Now duke seems to have a sprained ankle/elbow thing and has a terrible limp. I think we need to see the vet on Friday since my mom's going to Spokane tomorrow. I feel bad.
