Honestly when I first saw the theme I figured I'd do something on my own. However after taking my dogs for a walk/hike this morning, I do have something that kind of can be horror.
We started off walking the canyon road however this morning I felt like going up one of the side trails that aren't really trails. Anyways it started off fine, Hoku was in front and Jager was in back but then Hoku wanted to come down. Well the trail was very narrow with loose rocks. Needless to say her 100lb body pushed me off the trail where I lost my footing and started to slide. I ended up sliding down the hill about 10ft. Normally it wouldn't phase me however everything here either bites or pokes you. So I slide down plants with big and tiny thorns on top of the the loose rocks. After this I picked myself up, checked to make sure no one saw because I was kind of embarrassed and headed the rest of the way back down where I could remove the thorns from my hands and legs.
I know that doesn't sound very horrifying however when I got home and jumped in the shower I was kind of horrified at how beat up I was. I mean I've done alot of things that have caused minor injury before but I excepted it, this time I guess I thought the thorns would be the extent of it. My left leg is worse then my right and I recent found a new bruise the size of a cd (no joke) on my left side. Here's a picture of my left leg a few hours after, now there are new bruises that have surfaced.
After I removed the thorns from my hands I took a few pictures of the dogs just sitting there patiently waiting for me.
Well after 10 minutes or so they started bugging me to get moving. Damn dogs. Never again will I go up the hills by myself. :-)
