On my knees...

Zoli finally brought me to my knees today! We were taking our afternoon walk and it started out great! I mean, he wasn't pulling at all! That never happens! We were walking past this lovely yellow house with a white picket fence and just didn't see their dog peacefully sleeping toward the sidewalk. Z does what we all know he does and went crazy. I somehow got wrapped around the leash and next thing you know... down on my knees in the muddy grass I go! Of course the house owner was on her porch and sort of just looked at me - and then decided to put her dog inside. I had Z in a sort of head lock (still on the ground) and was trying to calm him down. This lady comes over and asks if I'm okay. Other than being totally embarrassed I told her I was fine. (oh, there was a Police Officer doing some traffic detail behind me and he saw the whole thing too...nice!) We got up... dusted off... continued the walk. Z pulled every inch of the way home. Geesh!
