running dog club

4 years ago I joined the prestigious 

Running Dog Club. 

I was knocked down by 3 Pit Bulls 

And a Doberman. 

Running full speed. 

During a job interview 

As a Dog Walker. 

Worst job interview ever! 

I haven’t walked the same since that hour. 

Something like this happened. 

Tibial Plateau Fracture 

Torn ACL, MCL, 

And meniscus. 

The good folks at the VA 

Sent me home with an ice pack and crutches

And 8 Tramadol. And told me to cut them in half. 

To make them last longer. 

Over 2 years later I could do this. 

Finally could walk up stairs. 

Without having to scoot on my butt. 

Or take them one by one. 

Halloween I went as Dr House. 

2015 and 2019. 

My eyes are bluer.
