We had warmer weather these last two days - well, relatively warm. Just above freezing. So on tonight's evening constitutional I found the driveway was one long sheet of ice. I switched to the winter waddle style of walking but that wasn't good enough and I fell. I had the presence of mind to keep hold of the dog's leash since trying to find a black dog in the night wouldn't have been easy. Probably didn't need to worry about that. Whip is one of those dogs that licks your face any time it is at her level and she wasn't going to miss this opportunity. Got up, finished our outing by walking in the snow at the edge of the drive, and made it back home without any further incidents. I made sure Whip got a treat, had something to eat, and fresh water. Fed the cats, gave them some last treats, and fresh water. Could feel then that some parts of my body were beginning to ache so ran a hot bath, added some bath salts, and 'marinated' for an hour. I don't really know if that helps after a fall but seemed like a great excuse for a soak.
