Yesterday was another Enchanted Poodle Club meeting with dogs at Bow Wow Blues. Canon got to come without Caprice since she didn't seem to especially enjoy it last time. He's a wild man by the time we get to the entry gate, pulling without any regard for anything else besides those dogs in there. Unfortunately, I'm the one who had to release his pinch collar. I used it because I know he'd be pulling like crazy. I had the vague recollection of having trouble unfastening it the last time we came. It was even worse this time. I got my finger caught in the links as he was pulling. If I hadn't been able to get it out eventually and let go of him, I think I would have lost my finger. And so, my wild boy/man raced around the other dogs dragging his leash while I coddled by throbbing index finger. Eventually it took two others to catch him and release the leash. Later Nancy was able to take off the pinch collar. Notwithstanding, Canon had a good time. While not a major player, he flitted from group to group, socializing with his breed.
And so, this is my time to whine. It hurt! It still hurts. There is bruising under my fingernail. Yesterday I couldn't even take many pictures because it hurt to press the button on my camera. I did minimal typing on my computer because it hurts to press down on the keys. Poor me. Canon is angelically lying on a cushion right now as I type this. How can I hold a grudge? (But next time there will be no pinch collar!)
