Well, maybe not literally, but I did almost cause myself some serious injury. I'm such a clutz!
Last night I took my dog out for his nightly potty walk, before I headed for work. He did all of his business like a good boy, and everything seemed to be going quite well. As I opened the door to come back into the apartment, my little Simba was right by the door, and he shot out of the apartment like a bat out of hell! I shot after him, as fast as I could move, with a 25 pound backpack on my back, running up a short flight of stairs to where he was blocked by the back door of the apartment building from getting outside.
I kind of threw myself down and tried to grab him, but all I could do was hold him down while my pitiful, clumsy body began teetering out of control. The hand I was holding him down with, flew up, and my body rolled down the stairs. How utterly humiliating! Thank God, I didn't close the door to my apartment, because Simba ran back into the apartment, while I collected myself and lumbered back into my apartment.
After it was all over, all I could do, was sit down in a chair and shake, and cry.
