Loss Of Dignity

After having been gone from home all day Christmas, we returned home. I let our dog Nikki outside and she started barking. We do not like our dogs to bark, so all dressed up from Christmas, I went out on the patio to scold her. She wouldn't stop, so I walked up the stairs leading to our back yard. Just as I reached the top step, I slipped on a patch of ice. Flying backward, I landed three feet down onto the concrete patio. As I lay there, I could see the stars, and I thought how pretty they were, anything to take my mind off the pain. Suddenly darkness overcame me. I didn't pass out from the fall, if that's what you were thinking. Nikki the black lab. was on top of me!! Springs seemed to be attached to her feet, as she jumped up and down on "Mom". Kisses, raining down, as she tried in her own doggie way to get me up. I couldn't get up, she weighs 75 lbs. all dignity gone, I crawled out from under the onslaught. As I limped into the house, hair wild, dog slobber on my face, and snowflakes sparkling on my clothes, my husband said "What happened to you?".

You know, I try hard to be dignified, but sometimes the world just takes me down, jumps on top of me, and spits in my face.

YIKES, whitebird, I hope you didn't get hurt or anything! Alisha's right, the world can do that...I once had to go to class in college covered in mud. I was rushing across the quadrangle in the rain, and it was very slick. I slipped and fell, books and everthing everywhere - and I was wearing white painter's pants...I looked like a drowned rat -- covered in mud.

That must have been horrible Dogstar, and to go to class like that too! You know I always found it funny how whenver I wore white clothing, I would always end up getting it dirty especially with food.

If I don't laugh at my own folly, someone else will. I'm having a good laugh over this.

I'm fine, but I do have really interesting bruises that only my husband will see.

LOL, that's so true. I should have known better ...The worst part was that it was between classes, so the quad was full of people...I was soooo embarrassed

Somehow, I picture you pulling it off, you seem very self assured.

LOL, whitebird...Well, all my classmates had a good laugh, that's for sure. I just big time and tried to forget all the mud drying on my pants. I still remember it as if it were yesterday...I'm glad you weren't seriously hurt!

whitebird, I'm happy to hear that you're okay after your fall. I've been there myself many times. I have told people that my middle name should've been Grace because I was very accident prone, especially when I was younger.

LOL, I can relate, Alisha. I feed my shirt occasionally too.

LOL! White's and Khaki's are NOT my friend! I think I'm cursed with those colors or something. Whenver I wore khaki pants to school, I would get marker on them. It would have to be the non-washable type too! So I would go around school with a blue or green slash across my pants the entire day!

LMAO, Alisha, I can so relate. I always had ink stains on my light-colored pants .

Yup, I think I'll be sticking to dark colored pants from now on!

Glad to hear nothing but your pride was hurt whitebird! Back in my college days we were all walking to the student union to eat dinner and in taking a shortcut my foot got caught in some muck, and it sucked one of my flip flops right off my foot. I was stuck in muck up to my mid-calf. Needless to say, I walked to the student union with one shoe on, one shoe off, one leg covered in muck and a seriously embarrassed look on my face. They finally put a little footbridge over that spot that I got stuck in, so I think I wasn't alone in getting stuck.

I don't know, but I know so many stories of college and mud it's scary. Seems like that was one of the things you had to do in college is get dirty and embarrassed at least once.
