Man Down!

We got some terrible news this week.  My best friend had an accident at gymnastics and his leg was broken in 2 spots!  He's super tough, so I wasn't as worried as you might think.  I just knew he'd be even more bummed than I was to know that he wouldn't be able to run and jump and play outside for a few weeks.  To cheer him up, I made Mom take me to the store to get him some stationary activities and made him a big sign and a card.  I surprised Mom by also picking out a princess coloring book for Stella.  I bet she's bummed too!  Here I am hard at work thinking about my buddy Vann.

I have to admit, I was a little weirded out when Mom told me about his broken leg.   I kept asking "but where IS his leg?"  Mom didn't understand my confusion until Momo pointed out that I probably thought it was in another room like what happens when my guys break their legs (right off!).  I was really relieved to see that he didn't actually lose his leg somewhere.  It should also be noted that when Mom told me some kid jumped on him, I told her I wanted to put him in Time Out.  I've got your back, bud!  Just let me know if you want me to seek justice.

Of course, my best bud has the greatest family.  They rigged up his wagon for him and when we got there his  Dad was taking him for a ride.  Can you believe my tough buddy was also fighting a fever?  He's so cool.  He was still a great host and I think he liked my homemade card with pictures of him and his family.

A good soldier never leaves a man behind, so we are planning lots of movie and zoo trips in the coming weeks.  You really can't keep a good man down.  Get better soon bud!
