My friend's little girl was sick so we didn't catch up as planned...so I called my friend Ann Maree who has just got back from her travels over east and invited her for morning tea....all good so far...but she was late so I decide to give the dog the $200 bed which I had sprayed with some special stinky stuff to stop chewing...I could hardly bear the fumes it is so strong!
While carrying it over to her kennel, with the dog was running around,I trod in a sprinkler hole on the lawn and sprained my ankle...and the dog got in the bed on the lawn...and would not get out! Once I got up I had to drag her out of the bed...and then I struggled in and put the bed in the kennel for her....
Then Ann Maree came and we had coffee...luckily I had an appointment already for the physio which was just as well as my ankle was very swollen and very sore by then...so went there with Morganne...It rained and I got wet getting in...and the physio said I should go for an X ray as it may be broken...(I broke my other foot two years ago doing a lot less...)
I hobbled out again - all very sore now...got some nurofen plus from the chemist and went to pick up E from school...Then we all went to have the X-ray and wait for results....I couldn't understand the mumbo jumbo on the results but called the physio and it turns out it is just very badly sprained...
Diana a family friend came over last night to stay and help out...Mum came back from farm today and of course Ben is at sea!....my ankle is very sore and swollen but nurofen is helping heaps...
Oh and the dog has ripped the mattress to bits and started on the outside (which I also sprayed) ! So she can just freeze now if you ask me! The spray is obviously not a deterrent!
Anyway good that my ankle is not broken so should heal with in the week if I take it easy...
And I have given the dog a coat now...we shall see if she chews that up!
But on a good note, Morganne is enjoying sweet potato now and had a couple of spoonfuls last night and tonight and slept very well the last two night...just getting up at around 2.30 and then awake at 6.30 - so I hope that continues...
Hope you have a nice weekend planned - Lissy

Sorry to hear about your ankle Lis! Hope it heals quickly and that you're not in too much pain.
We were having the same problem with our new puppy and his bed. Thankfully he's finally stopped chewing it!
Sorry but somehow the whole dog post just cracked me up - not the ankle part - hope you are better soon. I hate days like that!
have a better weekend.
