Subject: Kendall's rotten luck From: kendall Date: 12 Apr 04 - 08:29 PM Got a wake up call today. As you know, I've looked forward to going to England for months, and yesterday, I suddenly got a terrible pain in my left side. Didn't sleep at all last night, and tody it was so bad I went to my doctor. He examined me, and said "You need to go to the hospital for x rays to rule out a pullmonary embolism. If that's what it is, you aint going nowhere! I thought, just my luck. So I went, and apparently it is a pulled muscle from yanking my 100 pound dog off another dog. Doctor said, "Go, and sin some more" so I'm off to Old Blighty tomorrow. |

Don't you know that you're supposed to use a water hose to git two dogs off'n one another!! Geez Loueez!! Here's hoping that you have a WONDERFUL time across the Pond. Big hugs and snogs, Áine |

Subject: RE: Kendall's rotten luck From: Tinker Date: 12 Apr 04 - 09:12 PM Okay Kendall, I think you simply titled the thread to make us all worry !!! Sorry you're hurtin' but very glad you're getting to travel. Say hello to lots of folks for me and bring me back lots of hugs... Tinker |

Subject: RE: Kendall's rotten luck From: Deckman Date: 12 Apr 04 - 09:12 PM So ... Kendall ... what's the "rotten luck?" That you can go, or that you almost couldn't go? Have a good visit! Bob |
|
Subject: RE: Kendall's rotten luck From: Big Mick Date: 12 Apr 04 - 09:20 PM You old salty bastard, I hope you hurt every second you are there. You had me going, I immediately thought the throat problem popped back, or that you had that embolism, and I got very worried. Enjoy yourself, because when I see you, I may make the damage permanent!!! And leave the young women alone;-) Safe travels, Mick |

Subject: RE: Kendall's rotten luck From: Amergin Date: 12 Apr 04 - 09:38 PM Hmmm I don't think it was the dog you were yanking.... ;) |
|
Subject: RE: Kendall's rotten luck From: Giac Date: 12 Apr 04 - 09:50 PM Yeah, yeah, but what about the dog? |
|
Subject: RE: Kendall's rotten luck From: artbrooks Date: 12 Apr 04 - 10:26 PM Take care, have a good time, and check in once in a while. |

Subject: RE: Kendall's rotten luck From: Amos Date: 12 Apr 04 - 11:18 PM ANd when you get back, you scurrilous rapscallion, buy a smaller dog, ya heah?? A |
|
Subject: RE: Kendall's rotten luck From: Barbara Date: 12 Apr 04 - 11:27 PM You know, of course, that you can do serious damage to a dog, yanking one off another that way? At least if they were engaged in promiscuous behavior. You just have to wait for them to cool down (hence the hose). You're lucky you didn't get some salient portion of your anatomy bitten off for your troubles. Get thee away from the dog. England just might be far enough. Blessings, Barbara |

Subject: RE: Kendall's rotten luck From: Dave the Gnome Date: 13 Apr 04 - 04:03 AM I pulled the intercostals down my left side when my motorbike fell over about 6 weeks ago (don't ask!) Not painful any more but still stiff. Feeling for you Kendall - I'll not ask you to sleep in a damp caravan this time:-) Are you up our neck of teh woods at all? Cheers DtG |

Subject: RE: Kendall's rotten luck From: Ellenpoly Date: 13 Apr 04 - 04:33 AM Jeez Kendall! The things you'll do to get out of meeting me! If you read this before the 27th, I'll look forward to offering you a little TLC in the form of a slap upside the head for any past or future foolishness with pulling dogs, women, or anything else weighing more than a pint (Guiness-pulling has a long tradition here in England, and with that only will I encourage you to pull away.)..xx..e |

Subject: RE: Kendall's rotten luck From: John MacKenzie Date: 13 Apr 04 - 04:41 AM Just a walkin' the dawg Just a walkin' the dawg If you don't know how to do it I'll show you how to walk the dog. Have a good one, sorry I'm so far north and can't get down to England, anyway I haven't renewed my passport. John |

Subject: RE: Kendall's rotten luck From: Dave Bryant Date: 13 Apr 04 - 05:09 AM Glad that you're OK Kendall and that we should be seeing you soon. I know that we're all supposed to be kind to animals, but isn't pulling off a dog going a bit to far - especially as most of them seem to be able to lick themselves anyway. Dick - we're keeping a bucket of cold water handy in case we need it for Kendall and Jacqui. I must admit that I've never found that it really works for dogs - It just makes them steam more ! |
|
Subject: RE: Kendall's rotten luck From: jacqui.c Date: 13 Apr 04 - 05:31 AM You keep that water away from me Mr Bryant. If I'm enjoying myself I don't want any interruptions!!! Will you be getting to the Lion at Eastwick tonight? It's probably a bit late for Kendall to read this but I agree with previous comments on this post - he's a very naughty boy for scaring us all like that! Just wait 'til he gets here tomorrow...... |

Subject: RE: Kendall's rotten luck From: Linda Kelly Date: 13 Apr 04 - 05:35 AM what a relief Kendall-we've entered you into the annual 'Olde Dog yanking' competition, with a bull mastiff named Mitzy. Would have been a real blow if you had not come -your odds on favourite! |

Subject: RE: Kendall's rotten luck From: Catherine Jayne Date: 13 Apr 04 - 05:36 AM Glad you're ok and we shall see you in the pub at the weekend! Have a safe journey Love Khatt |

Subject: RE: Kendall's rotten luck From: AllisonA(Animaterra) Date: 13 Apr 04 - 05:56 AM Aine the only problem with the hose is it's still frozen on the ground down Maine! Kendall, it's a good thing you're off across the puddle, because you had me good and scared! You better hope I'm all calmed down before Old Songs.... Allison |

Subject: RE: Kendall's rotten luck From: Pied Piper Date: 13 Apr 04 - 06:12 AM I had a pulmonary embolism a couple of years ago nearly finished me off. Fortunately for me there was no pain or warning I just past out, and the next thing I know I'm in an Ambulance fighting for breath. If I'd have been on my own I'd have been brown bread. The next day I was fine. All the best PP |

Subject: RE: Kendall's rotten luck From: Morticia Date: 13 Apr 04 - 07:03 AM I'll tell you, this gave me a hell of a scare.....I thought I'd cleaned up the spare room for nothing. |

Subject: RE: Kendall's rotten luck From: Dave Bryant Date: 13 Apr 04 - 07:38 AM Morty - you have - Kendall's not expecting to pay you !

Subject: RE: Kendall's rotten luck From: kendall Date: 13 Apr 04 - 07:46 AM Guest, I'm sorry I failed to do this your way, but the pain I was in interferred with my judgement. Same for the lack of the BS heading. Joe, you can move it to BS if you wish, we don't want to upset the nameless malcontents. I don't understand how a pain of such magnitude can be totally under control after only two days, but, there it is, I don't have to dread that plane ride quite as much now. |

Subject: RE: Kendall's rotten luck From: kendall Date: 13 Apr 04 - 09:00 AM I titled this rotten luck because thats about all I've had these past feew years. Why am I bothering to explain? |

Subject: RE: Kendall's rotten luck From: Richard Bridge Date: 13 Apr 04 - 09:18 AM If dogs were being sexy, separate with care. If your dog being aggressive try to train dog. Of course I find that by and large my dogs train me, instead, but I keep trying. If other dog being aggressive, warn owner that next time you let your dog finish the job. Consider whether hundred pound dog needs diet. If all else fails, learn "Champion he was a Dandy". |

Subject: RE: Kendall's rotten luck From: Steve in Idaho Date: 13 Apr 04 - 09:28 AM Let's get this correct now - you were porking the dog and pulled a muscle in your leg? And we're supposed to feel sorry for you? HA!!! You're a three legged man Brother - enjoy the trip - Steve |

Subject: RE: Kendall's rotten luck From: SINSULL Date: 13 Apr 04 - 12:28 PM And on the other side of town...Mary gets a message at the Office Max where Kendall was to meet her that he won't becoming. He is back at the hospital having xrays and blood tests. I am waiting for some friends to help me move furniture presumably in Kendall's van. So I am a nervous wreck wondering what could possibly have gone wrong. And i can't leave because the help is on the way. And...as we try to move a huge desk up to my spare room, it slips. Brian's hand is caught between the desk and wall. I am trapped in the stairwell and can't go for help. With a huge effort, I moved the desk, he moved his hand and the desk came back on me. It must have looked like Moe, Larry and Curley at work. It took two neighbors to get me out of the stairwell. Brian soaked in ice water for half an hour before his fingers agreed to move. It looked as if four were broken. So we emerged with a badly bruised hand, a sore shoulder, and a painfully wounded ego. My neighbors were trying hard not to laugh the whole time. This was all Kendall's fault. I am not sure why but blaming him makes me feel better. Had he been at hand with a hose we could have been dissuaded from trying to move the desk upstairs in one piece. I fed him a hot breakfast and put him in a van to Boston from whence he flies to Montreal then on to England. He is your responsibilty now. DO NOT send him back with a litter of llamas or anything else. Feed him well. See that he gets regular sleep. And don't put up with his curmudgeonness. It taken two years to civilize the old bastard and I don't want to have to start from scratch again. Funny - I never interfere in Seamus' love life. None of my business. But I do steer him away from dachsunds and toward larger ladies. Given the back problems in that family, it only makes sense. TATA SINS |

Subject: RE: Kendall's rotten luck From: Deckman Date: 13 Apr 04 - 03:25 PM Damnit Sins ... You've GOT to stop doing that! I came home from work, checked mudcat, read your last posting and started laughing. I laughed so hard that I fell back in my chair and it collapsed on the cat. He yelled and scared his little sister out of a sound sleep. She fell off the freezer, where she sleeps, broke a potted plant on the way down. The soil from the potted plant splattered all over the floor. I ran into the room to see what she was hollering about and I slipped on the dirt. The medics just left, I've got one cat at the vet's, they say my ankle is only bruised, but we'll need new carpet now. Like I said ... YOU'VE GOT TO STOP POSTING THESE NOTES! Bob |

Subject: RE: Kendall's rotten luck From: Big Mick Date: 13 Apr 04 - 04:43 PM As a senior Mudelf, I think it my duty, SINS, to point out that you are in violation of the "WARNING: Swallow whatever food and/or drink is in your mouth and empty your bladder, BEFORE reading this post" rule. Continued flaunting of this rule will subject you to disciplinary action, as well as a fine in the amount necessary to clean computer screens and personal clothing ruined by said action. All the best, Mick |

Subject: RE: Kendall's rotten luck From: SINSULL Date: 13 Apr 04 - 07:26 PM What did I do????? Sr. Paula used to discipline us regularly with a ruler named Oscar and that was considered Salvation. We stole Oscar and hid him behind a statue of St. Dominic Savio. He kept us safe for years until someone decided to wax the floors and Dominic got moved but I digress... When did Morti become the Arbiter of Elegance anyway? I have a few tales to tell of her escapades at the Getaway. Black pot? Kettle? Harumph! |

Somebody, please let us know when Kendall shows up. |
