My poor little doggy was not her elegant and graceful self today.
She began by running off and jumping into the Hudson River. Not where she usually goes, a nice safe, shallow part. Nope, today she dove into a deep part and I had to fish her out. She was fairly calm about it, surprisingly so.
As she dried herself on the grass (by rolling especially frantically) her vigor resulted in her rolling off the edge of the beach onto some rocks! Concerned, I picked her up to check for injuries. She was fine and didn't seem to notice any of it.
By the time I got home I was freezing (all wet from holding wet dog). Yaku enjoyed a nice warm bath and I took a hot shower. Now, all cozy and clean, warm and with a hot mug of tea we played ball. About a minute into the game Yaku ran head first into a cabinet. Thwack!
She also skidded sideways on her butt several times. Bit more than usual (this often happens when chasing ball).
Overall, she seems fine. Will keep a close eye on her. Is it possible that even dogs have off days?
