Dale is in the wars
« on: August 25, 2010, 09:45:34 PM »
As if we don't have enough going on with two sick dogs (Jarvis and George Collie) Dale has whacked his head and now has one semi-paralysed eyelid and the other looks to be trying to join in as a matching pair. I thought he may have stunned the nerve that controls the eyelid but as the other eye is also half closed I suspect he may be concussed.  ::)

I was carrying the dogs dinner dishes through the dining room to the conservatory and Dale was doing his customary travelling pirouette (where he turns his body away from me but keeps his head fixed on me looking hard over his shoulder then whips his head around to look over the other shoulder before completing the pirouette) when he smacked his head on either a dining chair or the table leg, or even both. I didn't see him do it I just heard the thud and the scream.

He's spending a sleepy evening on the sofa but when he does wake up he looks like a flippin' pirate.  ::)

Both taken away from us far too soon. x  RIP Angels Odie & Archie, causing mayhem at the Rainbow, no doubt!

I sympathise because Lyla does the same.  She walks forward whilst looking at me and always manages to turn her head when there is a wall in the way!  Hope he feels better soon xx

Poor Dale.

Have you set yourselves up as a mini hospital now? What are the visiting hours?

Hope he's better by tomorrow.

Dale was in much better shape this morning and was back to his pirouetting and this time he missed the sideboard by the skinniest whisker. ::) I'm convinced he must have knocked his brains clear out of his ear yesterday because he doesn't seem to have learned.  :005:
