Spoke Too Soon

Fiorella spoke too soon.  She couldn't get Sonia dog to "leave it" while on their evening walk--"it" being a dead fawn at the top of the drive next to the street--and the back of Fio's head ended up  hitting the driveway--hard.

Fio got scared. She's had far too many bonks to the head lately so she called the insurance nurse, who advised her to go to the local emergency room.  Four hours, one pint of blood, and a CT head scan later, hard-headed Fio was diagnosed as unhurt, then given a page of symptoms that, if they occurred, should send her back to the hospital.

Sonia's in the dog house, and from now on, Fio's promised Husband she'll use the nose leader with her, and release it if any deer--dead or alive--show up while she and Doggie are walking.
