Getting Plastered

We were in the plaster clinic yesterday. Ailz said "This must be the start of your busy time." And the nurse said, "Not really. Every season is busy. In winter we get rugby, netball and football players. And in summer we get the cricketers- mostly hand and finger injuries. And then all the year round we get the dog walkers."

Dog walkers?

There would be the question now how to understand this...
Did the dogs do something to the walkers or do the walkers take on a lot of boxing matches with people which feel annoyed by the animals?

You have to wonder...

turned/sprained ankles? Knee injuries? Trip and fall stuff? Slips on the ice...

I suppose so...

It's a dangerous business dog walking... Tripping over tree roots and being knocked flying by over-exuberant spaniels.

I suppose it must be.:)

I'm assuming a lot of skinned knees from a dog suddenly lunging at something and dragging the walker behind them.

But you'd only need a plaster cast if you'd broken something.

I dare to assume dog's lead dislocates an arm of owner.

That could happen.

Perhaps the walker fell over the dog lead whilst waling due to the fact the dog saw another dog going in the opposite direction. I saw ths happen once in Rugby.

Who knew "walkies" could be so dangerous!
