Sorry Jack. Just for that reason my prego wife isn't walking the dogs anymore. I hope that you have a speedy recovery.

Yikes. Get well soon! Anyone else find themselves being ultra-cautious walking around just so they stay healthy for skiing? It's so easy to slip on ice, twist a knee, etc. Real sorry, Jack. Sucks to go out like that...

Sorry to hear that. I had a slip right after the snow/ice storm, I think I would have been better off falling, I tried to save myself and twisted my back pretty good. That valentines day storm was ice/snow/ra|n in the Dedham area. Blech.

Damn dogs! Seriously, I'm gonna have to be more cautious when I walk ours. :eek:

I hope it heals quickly.

One of the reasons I don't own any dogs right now, I'd be the one walking them late night/early morning...dealing with 3 kids is enough!

Jack, get better soon.

would love a dog but it just doenst fit into our lifestyle right now (2 kids is enough work)....we are gone almost everyweek durning the year (skiing/cape cod/eastern long island) Dogs arent always welcome at someone elses house and its hard to find people to watch em and kennels are pricey....i think kids are easier sometimes you can can bring them everywhere, where you are limited with a dog/pet...my buddy always has to rush home and walk the dog after work, can never come to HR....poor guy...I do love dogs, just dont work for us...

Same boat totally (even down to the kid count...). Always wanted a dog, but we enjoy the flexibility of not having one.

Nope...I usually don't try to be any more cautious just because it's ski season.

I slipped on some ice back in January and landed on a large rock forearm first. Bruised it up pretty good but nothing broken...just lucky I guess.

Get well soon, Jack...tough break.

I guess you're not up for adopting one right now?





Just kidding. Having one child, it just seems that having dogs would be the next best thing. yeah they have its limitations but they make up for it in many ways.

Uhmmm... No!

I can see how dogs are enjoyable. We always had a dog as a kid and I always pet and play with friends' and family's dogs. For us, the trade-off is just not there.
