Owner Chasing Puppy Trips Over Flip-Flop

Occurred on August 12, 2022 / Fort Collins, Colorado, USA

: I was loading up the car with 11 loads of laundry to wash at the laundromat when my Cane Corso puppy ran out the front door. As I was trying to catch her, my floppy flip-flop folded under my foot and sent me flying. Luckily I did years of roller derby so I'm a pro at falling, and I didn't get hurt. I was having such a bad day up till then, so I just stayed on the ground for a few seconds to make my dog think she killed me. She must have felt bad because she went back into the house. When she came back outside to check on me, I told her to 'go into the house.' Luckily for me, she did. I wasn't in the mood to chase her after that. My face, hair, and even under my shirt were covered in dirt. I had to take another shower before leaving for the laundromat to get it all off. I would have been sobbing, but I remembered right then I had a doorbell camera so I sucked it up. Luckily I caught the whole thing, and all I could do then was laugh.
