Slip slidin' away...

I took Apollo on a walk last night. His first in a long time. We didn't get very far initially, before I found ice and learned that I don't have ninja balance skills anymore.

We hit the sidewalk out in front of the house... and BAM - the hands of fate stepped in and took me out. After the fall, I took the pup back inside with the intention of not walking... but then felt bad. Why should I punish him for my inability to pay adequate attention and avoid the ice? So, we went back and took our walk anyway.

Today, I am paying for that decision. I must have pulled a muscle in my right side somehow... so I have lived on ibuprophen and minimal movement today. But, it's worth it, because Apollo thoroughly enjoyed the outing.
