Here's a tip:
When you take your dog for a walk
YOU take him the way YOU want to go
Even when you get to the crest of the big hill and he wants to go down that way
Listen to your inner voice when it says "It's all marshy & muddy and it's probably really slippy, because it's been raining for hours
Did I listen to that little voice...?
Of course not...I relenetd when he stood still 'demanding' in his own stubborn way, that "We should go this way, Dad"
We start to walk down the steep slope and I'm doing my best to watch where I'm stepping, when...
You know that noise cartoon characters make when they lose their grip on earth and their legs go up in the air...'Yadda Yada Yadda...Whoa !!!'
Yeah, that noise
Well, I was that soldier
Both feet off the ground and my legs come up to meet my head as my back and arse plant firmly in the mud
I give it a few seconds to recobver my breath and stand up...
"Aw Naw !!! That lovely feeling of cold wet mud seeping through your clothing...always such a lovely happenstance
I take one more step and my Olympic gymanstics, continues
Down I go again, only this time, my head head strikes the sodden grass...a wee bit of a whiplash going on
As I am 'performing' the 'dance macabre'
My buddy thinks this is great fun, as he is bouncing around me, like a Spring lamb "Good Boy Beau !!!"
We finish our walk (crawl, at a sails pace) more like, I am done... and venture home
Strip off and get into some warm dry sweats and hose off, my mud caked, ensemble
I think I'll grab a couple of Tylenol and have a lie down
Back and neck are stiffening up already
Heart attack - January 7th
Special Olympics - February 4th
FFS !!!
This getting old shit, is not for cissies
Beau, waiting patelntly for the aul yin, to regain his composure
My jacket weighed considerably more than when we left the house
Had to walk home with the cold wet mud, stuck to my jacksie
Lovely feeling when the cold wet mud goes inside your sleeve, and halfway up your arm
3 layres of clothing soaked through, in an instant
Magic
