One of my mom's puppies got it's foot stuck in the vent in the kitchen. It cried out for help and my mom panicked from the hallway adjacent to the kitchen. Side note - I am the voice of reason with my mom. When she was bitten by a dog and somehow lost her shoes in the process I ordered her to the car and calmly took her to the hospital. When she saw my sister's boyfriend naked(years ago) and wasn't sure whether to laugh or cry, I helped her pull it together. So you see, maybe this story was told to me because mom wouldn't have been bruised by the end of the ordeal if I was there; or maybe she would have been because I would have been laughing too hard to help her! Well, either way I digress.
So where was I? Oh, yes. The dog had it's leg stuck in the vent. My panicked mother runs into the kitchen, forgetting that there is a plate on the floor she had placed there earlier with dog treats on it. She managed to step onto the plate and slides across the kitchen on it. She slide so aggressively (because she started in a run) that she hit the side of the island with her shoulder and took out a huge chunk of the wood! Once she hit the island she fell and landed on her knees. Without second thought she continued her journey to the dog in a crawl across the floor. The dog was saved...the island was not.
I always find myself asking my mom where a horrendous bruise has come from or why her hand is wrapped in gauze. It's usually just passing conversation, but is generally a hilarious story.
This story puts me in the mood to make dog treats. Easy peasy!
