Happy Halloween

My Halloween is off to a great start.
I woke up early this morning, about 7:30, to get ready for the day. I wasn't going to wear a costume, I just had to pee real bad.
Anyways, I let the dog out. And for those who don't know, I have a Great Dane. I love the dog, its just a 120 lb. puppy, but she is a hard head.
I let her out this morning and went on about my business.
But in a chain of unfortunate events, the gate from my backyard to the front yard was open.
After 20 minutes of realizing my dog wasn't making any noise I peak outside.

The day had begun. What a Halloween.
My dog is just curious, I guess, so she likes to just sniff around.
I chased her outside, but didn't wear any shoes. Man was it cold outside this morning. Especially when you walk through the grass.
After a couple of houses and some walking down the middle of the road in City View, I finally rangled in my dog.
But the fun park about trying to drap my dog is when she doesn't have a collar on.
When you grab a 120 lb. dog by the neck skin, they tend to slam on the brakes.
Not so easy.
So, I'm half awake and my feet are freezing and my dog is being a butt head.
What to do, what to do?
I finally make it back to my yard with the dog through a little encouragment. It worked, but not as quickly as I'd liked it to work.
As soon as I stepped in my grass, I just so happened to plant my foot in the only sticker patch in my front yard.
Man that sucked.
So, I'm half awake and my feet are freezing and my dog is being a butt head and I have like eight stickers in my left, bare foot.
I get them all out, wake my wife up to open the front door and restart my day. So I think.

I walk outside, this time with my shoes, to relock the gate. I get that done, but walking back towards the door I figure I can take my aggression out on a soccer ball in the backyard.
Big mistake.
I go to kick the ball, it bounces off the grill, I go to kick it with my right foot again. (My soccer skills on display at 8 a.m.) I start to land on my right foot, but plant it on the concrete and I roll my ankle.

So I have a frozen feet, and now a rolled ankle. What a day, what a day.

I hope I started your day off with a laugh. Looking back, it wasn't worth it. Happy Halloween.
