Today Gavin proved that the answer to that question is no.  How did he prove it?  Well, that’s the story for tonight.

     I had Gavin out in the yard.  He was behaving, sniffing around looking for a place to mark, when the kids across the street began doing a mad dash up and down the sidewalk.  Gavin got excited and began to bark at them.  Me, being the idiot I am, decided it was time to leash him and take him inside before he became too wound up.

     He was standing still at the front fence barking at the kids.  I reached for his collar to snap on the leash so I could drag him away from the fence.  At that moment he decided to dart to his left.  Where was I standing?  I was at his left. 

     Now if you’ve never met a Bull Terrier in person you have no concept of what their heads are like.  Think cinder block and you’ll have a decent idea.

     Think fast, if I was at his left, and he dashed to his left, can two objects occupy the same space at the same time?  The previously mentioned objects being Gavin’s cinder block head and my freaking knee, I say NAY.  I also said ouch, and many other words in a sailor’s vernacular that tinged the air around me a lovely, bright shade of blue.

     Yeah, go ahead and call me a klutz.  You can even call Gavin an idiot for not looking where he was going.  Now, if you all will excuse me, I need to pack my knee in ice again.
