[nagdu] Story that I don't know what to think about

[Tami Kinney]

Mark,

I'm finally caught up enough that I can say something again... The 
mental image you've given for this one has me saying, "Mwahahahaha 
HAHAHA!!!"

Sorry. I'm sure the older gentlement was quite frightened, at least at 
first sight of you skating behind your ginormous shepherd. With no 
friction to use to stop yourself or him, what could you do?

Still... I'm going to be giggling about the image for awhile.

I assume the older gentleman recovered? Was he able to laugh at the 
silliness at all? I've never been in *quite* that situation, but... I'm 
lucky to have the other person laugh when I have something super 
embarrassing and dog or even cane related. /smile/

Sorry your boy is still having digestive problems. I hope you can get 
the problems tracked down and under control!

Tami
