I hope you're feeling better today, Miranda. Were you able to get an earlier appointment with the doctor? How's your shoulder today? And how's your face? It all just sounds so painful. Are you still getting foggy?

If it's not too painful to remember the details, what happened with the dog exactly? Did he catch you and grab your foot or run in front of you, or force you into something else that made you wreck?

I agree with those who have said to complain to the Sheriff's office. That kind of bodily injury requires some accountability and for the officer doing the questioning to see your injuries and then blow it off, that would really make me angry. (Kenyonchris, any input there on what she might do?) You were not breaking any laws doing what you were doing. That dog - the owner, really - was the one causing a public safety hazard. Not the riders.

I'd also see if someone with the ride organization has some pull with local law enforcement or maybe legal assistance in getting your medical bills paid for by the owner. I'll bet if he gets your medical bills, he'll be more responsible about letting his dog run loose and chase people.

Staceysue, that flyer is a hoot.
