Toka and I were working on his heeling skills  early this morning.  We were on a quiet stretch of road and things were going swimmingly.

His Redness approached me after having been given the ‘break!’ cue.  I’m not quite sure what happened, however I did a face-plant onto the tarmac. One minute I was vertical, the next I was face down, on the road.  My elbows and knees got scraped and banged, as did my jaw.

Note to self: train on grass.`
Here’s a photo of the worst of it.  Left elbow.  Now sewn shut.
