Maximo and I were leaving the house for our walk this morning when I tumbled down the icy brick front stairs. It was only 3 stairs, but I fell hard and smacked my head -- lots of big, ugly bruises and a monster headache.
Thank goodness Maximo wasn't hurt, and to my amazement, he didn't run off. Considering how excited he gets when we go outside, it is a minor miracle that he calmly sat in front of me with big pleading eyes.
Maximo gave me lots of gentle licks until I collected myself and got back onto my feet. I managed to take him on his walk and he kindly took things slow and easy. What a sweetie!
