Today started off well..sunny, Sunday...a 40 minute walk and then, even better, mom decided to take me to the park..
Well, as you can imagine, I was overjoyed..played, ran, made a new friend..for at least an hour it was happy, happy, happy Sammy...
And then, a greyhound showed up..she was gorgeous and ran like a gazelle. At like 7 inches tall, i am much slower than an 85lb greyhound, but I just wanted to fit in and to run her run and play her play....
I was trying to keep up with the Jones', so to speak...
As I chased her, she turned to face me and we collided right there in the middle of my fun park day..
Boy, was that scary, considering, I couldn't walk afterwards and then had to be rushed to the emergency vet...
4 hours later....
Good news is I am OKAY, on pain meds and have full use of my paws...
bad news, I caused myself a whole lot of stress trying to be part of the "in" crowd at the park...
Today's Challenge: Be okay with who you are and where you are. It is one thing to challenge yourself and another to pummel right into a greyhound....think about it...
Again...good advice from my favorite guru.

Sammy, I'm glad that you are okay. I have two greyhounds and they do like to run. I don't imagine it would be fun being body slammed by one of them. But then the Labradors are built like tanks and body slam the greyhounds. There you go. A doggy hierarchy. Just like with humans.
