This is what I woke up to. I take Piper for a walk every morning and every night. I pretty much know where slippery spots are as I have slipped a few times this winter. And since yesterday was 40 degrees, there was a lot of melting going on. I made it so good about half way around the block. Piper slipped and fell once, and I laughed at her.
Well, that bit me in the butt! I get to this shot, I'm trying to be real careful, I know there is ice under there. No matter, feet going all over, slipping all over and down I go. Piper comes running, jumping all over and around me like it's time to play! I'm trying to get my footing to get up. Finally I get up. I turn to look at where I fell, looks like quite the tussle happened. OK, let's move on. Coming to the next place I know has ice. No can do, down I go again! Piper plays again. Finally got up, looks worse than the first time. Now I just laugh at myself! At least I made these spots clear for the next dog walker.
I did make it home without another incident.
As I'm sitting here, I'm starting to feel some soreness I my back, took some ibuprofen so that should help. Fun times!

There's this one spot that's always icy, but it's right where my front walk meets the driveway, so I can't avoid it very well. I usually fare okay if I remember to watch myself, but when it's covered in snow, I sometimes forget.
Seriously--be careful out there!
