Don't Make Fun

The Vice President of the company I work for had a little accident with a ladder. He fell off and his face landed on one of the rungs. His sun glasses broke into his forehead and he was left with seven stitches. He also broke his finger. Well, I just couldn't let that one go. I gave him all kinds of special names like, Gimp, Frankenstein, Stitch, etc. The next day I continued having fun with him. I even convinced him to email me a picture of his stitches. I used his picture as my screen saver because it was so funny. I then reconsidered and said, "You know I shouldn't be making fun of him because something might happen to me!"  

Wouldn't you know that very evening I started to take Bentley for a walk. I wrapped his leash around my hand several times and stopped to throw trash in our garbage can outside. I felt the leash start pulling thru my hand and looked up just in time to see Bentley taking off after a cat in our neighbor's yard. The leash ripped thru my hand. I was afraid to even look at my hand because I knew it was really bad. I ended up with burns, a gash, and a sprained finger. I was really lucky that it wasn't more severe! And I learned a good lesson: Don't make fun of others!

 The black mark on my finger is actually some fibers from the leash charbroiled into my skin! I love that dog!
