The Furry Kids Finally Got Me

Hope you are okay and it's not broken. Funny thing, I just head a couple weeks ago that our pets are the number one cause of falls at home.

Hope your ankle doesn't turn out to be a fracture...

I actually have Moosie to thank for my own broken ankle three years ago - indirectly though, as some of my own stupidity comes in as well I guess. It wasn't the usual tripping over him type of injury, though - we were out on a walk and he went down some stairs from the path to the beach and was then walking along below while we continued above - one of his favourite things to do. At a certain point the beach disappeared (it was high tide) and so he had to swim... and since he is not the most confident swimmer ever I decide in my infinite wisdom to go down a ramp that is up ahead to cheer him along. I just so happens that the ramp was covered in algae or something else invisible but slippery, and so I took one step onto the ramp and that was all she wrote. The first human/animal to reach me was... Moosie! Obviously he was able to swim the rest of the way without my encouragement... All of the dogs got to ride in the ambulance with me to the hospital, though!
