I have a doberman who runs around like a greyhound. It's fun to watch him do this outdoors, but dangerous when he gets excited in the house. The night before last, my 10 year old son got him charged up indoors and then made the mistake of getting in his way. My dog ran into him, full throttle, which threw my son up in the air and down on his stomach. It was actually a AFV moment, until I saw the look on my son's face. He turned over and was holding his arm and fighting back the tears. We went to the doctor yesterday and he did indeed break his wrist. 2nd break on the same arm! First break was in kindergarten when he fell off the monkey bars. What makes it worse is that he plays soccer and is the star goalie. What wrotten timing. So he is out for 2 weeks at the least and we'll check again, but he may be able to play after that time, but not goalie. He wears his soft cast for 4-6 weeks. At least it is not another hard cast. My poor son was not in the best of moods yesterday so he needs some good thoughts sent his way!
