Ugh, quick story on what just happened because it definitely sucks.
Went to PetCo just now and I got the boy a couple more toys then I did earlier, as he tore apart the option I chose on my earlier trip.
I took this opportunity to go with Kong and look around to see if the cashier who helped me earlier was still there. Upon going up there, I told her what had happened, and asked if in lieu of a return, she would give me a discount, as we live miles away. She gave me a 50% discount and I gave $5 to feed some rescue dogs.
Give the boy his squeaky Kongs after detagging and we’re on our way back home. I’m passenger princess, gracefully. My 🍯 + our dog stayed in the car. Here’s accident 1
I think it’s a good idea to update all my apps because one of the one’s I opened prompted me to do so.
My iPhone is already at max capacity. My screen froze attempting to notify me of this and I am presently locked out as we type.
and here is Accident 1.0.
0. After we arrive in the driveway, I ask my girlfriend if she’d like to take the dog or the toys into the house (he’s a leash puller at the moment). She ops to take him in, and begins doing just that. Me shortly behind them, with a few toys in my hand, start heading towards the door. The young lad loses focus on going inside due to these bright, flashy toys. Unfortunately, my girlfriend had already released him from his leash, as we typically do when we have him right at the door. She loses a grip of him as he runs toward me unleashed..
As he’s running, I dropped the toys since that’s what let him loose to begin with, to make sure he didn’t run off, but as I do this while he’s going for a pass on me but staring right at me, like a menace wolf, he comes at the toys from a weird angle and because my 🍯 was hot on his tail, behind him, she ends up right behind me as he comes between my leg and arm to corral him. Due to the weird angle he’s coming from and me swiftly moving my arm to wrap him up . . . . . . . . . . . .
My girlfriend goes in to do the same thing as me, and I elbow her right in the eye socket…….
I hear, to me, what sounded like a pop, as I feel pressure on my elbow. My girlfriend just starts saying ‘fuck, fuck, fuck, oww’ as I have the boy corraled and have to move to getting him into the house right away to attend to her. She’s crying and I’m asking her to remove her palms from her face to make sure what I heard wasn’t the damage.
To my relief
There was no blood, and her eye socket or anything like that wasn’t broken. I’m presuming the pop I heard was my elbow, thankfully. She’s now recovering on the couch and clearly not concussed either, the boy is oblivious to the effects of his action.
As he should be, because I wouldn’t harm my dog. He does enough damage to himself.
Anyways, don’t give your loved ones an elbow to the eye because they’re in your blind spot. Love y’all
