young dog and a bicycle! Sometimes a bad combination. On Friday morning - two days ago - I decided to do our daily trip somewhat earlier than usual. So on our way we passed a young boy who was waiting for the school bus or somebody else who would pick him up. When Clare discovered the boy sitting on the side of the road she was very excited and jumped around him. I called her back and with full speed she came running and forgot how to use her brakes! So she run with full speed into the bicycle and I was flying like a bird. A big black bruise on my right thigh will remember me for the next few days about this incident.
