Well Well Well.......

I guess after being couch bound for more than two weeks, what better time than now to update my blog.....yeah, it shoulda happened long ago!!
So, let me start about six weeks ago.....
I have been thinking about getting a dog for quite some time, but have always struggled with the fact that I have two cats, which I am not certain would get along with another animal.
Well, about six weeks ago my neighbor brought this dog home, that he said some friends of his found abandoned at a boat ramp and gave to him to take care of. I of course fell in love with him, and would bring him to my yard to play with me on the weekends.  We had a blast together and I could tell he really appreciated the attention and love.  My neighbor had him tied to a tree, that he constantly would wrap his self around, to the point he couldn't get his self free or get to his food and water.  I was over there all the time to unwrap him and fill his water.  The second or third week my neighbor had him, I noticed from Monday-Thursday he never came home???? I made sure the dog had food and water and tried to keep him from getting wrapped around that dang tree as best as I could.
I finally made my mind up Wednesday night that I was going to bring the dog over here and take care of him.  At least then he would have people around to love on him and make sure he was ok all the time (my mother lives across the field from me and she fell in love with him too, so she helps out).
Thursday afternoon when I got off work, I went straight to Petsmart and bought all kinds of toys, food, treats, and a new tie-out and anchor to keep him in my yard.  When I got home I went to my neighbors and let him loose, he ran right over to my yard, like he knew that's where he should be!! We have been best friends since and he is being well taken care of :)
(when my neighbor finally came home, he agreed that I should keep him since I had more time to spend with him....YA THINK?!?! that and Feed him!!)
Anywho, we had a couple of great weeks, I would come home from work, he was sooooo excited to see me pull up, and we would play all afternoon until the sun went down (then I would come in and give my cats some luvin too!)
Well Sunday April 3rd was the day.  We were having a great day...he rode in the car for the first time (did great), he swam in the river, and had his first bath (from me)! Later in the evening we were playing outside and I tripped over him, while I tried to catch myself from falling my stupid flip flop turned sideways on my foot and sent me to the ground HARD!!  
My foot was hurting terribly and the next morning I went to the Dr because it was swollen really bad.....long story short, I broke my fibular bone in three places when I tripped over my new wonderfully loved doggie :(
Soooo I've been on the couch, out of work since April 4th, and not able to go out and play with "Monkey" since then.  Thank God I have my family nearby and "my friend" that have stopped by to play with him and keep him busy!
I'm now in a cast for two more weeks, planning to return to work April 19th, and can't wait to get back outside to play with my new best friend!!
