Keep your eye on the dog
This last Tuesday's class Simon and I were out on the floor and he was "supposed to" come around on my left and go over a jump. I took my eyes off to see where I was going and Simon came around on my right, I did not see him. Can you see where this is going? Yep, thats right. I tripped over Simon, twisted my ankle,bent my foot wrong, and fell on my hip...OW, OW,OW!!!! Simon was fine even after I half fell on him. |

I hope you and Simon are both OK - ouch! |
| Aha. Sounds about right. Now add five goats (or sheep) to the picture and try that.
Belle and I have been arguing about stock. I feel she should back off when I tell her to, she fears the goats and I are all escaping, so she must circle around to their heads. Some times that involves pressing between me and the fence even when I (theoretically) leave her no room to do so. Other times it means the goats come to a dead standstill and I try not to fall over them. Although instructor, unlike agility, is usually not yelling "keep an eye on your dog!" It's more "Go where you're going!" (well, that would be a lot easier if it didn't involve wading through goats!!!) and "watch your stock!" (What's to watch? If I'm not tripping over them, they're trying to climb up my back!!!  )
We snuck an extra lesson in today. It FINALLY stopped raining, the leaves are pretty, the sun is pretty, the blue sky is lovely. What's a few broken knees between handler and dog? 
Hope you feel better soon. We've all been there.
