How about a story about a broken little toe … ho ho

Florence,
A broken little toe sounds painful! Is it true that toes can’t be put into casts and you just have to suck it up, tape the toe to the next one, and hope it heals well? I’ve heard that, but wasn’t sure.

They don’t put toes in casts … they do just tape them together and you hop around for a while until they heal … It was a crazy five years with the darn horse in the hall

What if you’ve never broken a bone? I’d have to borrow someone else’s experience… maybe when my daughter was carrying her Lab puppy into a lake to teach it to swim (don’t ask… a water dog that hated water), stepped down into an unseen hole and fractured her ankle. I’ll head over to Lydia’s blog and see what others are saying. Sounds like a fun contest.

Carol,
You can use the story of seeing someone else break a bone…and yours sounds like a winner. Painful to watch too
Our dog hates water. We tried to coax him in countless times with treats, balls, kids, etc… all with no luck. He’ll chase other dogs into the water, but stops at his chest.

Florence,
I checked out your entry and thought it was hilarious. Also, I’m wondering if you have any pictures of the rocking horse and if you would put it up on your blog. It sounds amazing.
