I'm loading the Labs on the boat when I start to struggle with one of them, along comes a wave, pushes the boat back towards me, lifts the ass end and pile drives the ladder on top on foot into the sand. Man did I ever let out a yelp. Didn't break it but it hurts to touch and it's bruised pretty good.

I'm lost here. Who yelped, you or the dog?

slper

You would have thought it was the dog from the sounds of it. Man it hurt(s) like hell!

INCORRIGIBLE

No.

Hope that means you had it X-rayed. My BIL had a log fall on top of his foot and broke a metatarsal bone- some recovery time required.

Glad I have a collapsible ladder...!

It'll feel better when it quits hurtin'!

no

No . . . but yes to having foot squished by the bottom of the boat bouncing around in the wake of another boat . . . did not yelp but there was some colourful language employed at a very high volume

Ice packs help a lot.

Thinking about going to the dr. It is turning black and blue two days later and my toes are swelling and burning more when I walk... If anything, it could be a facture.

Better call a toe truck.

best not to be loading those meth Labs onto your boat

Locally we had a much worse event take place a few years back when a guy was trying to push his boat into the surf when a swell picked it up and pinned him under the bottom of the boat. Makes you really watch what your doing after you hear stuff like that.

Need pics of wife to be sure.

It has been tough taking it to the islands.

I haven't had this happen but we switched to a dog ladder for boat entry a while back. We use a Load-A-Pup ramp but there are others and I am pretty sure a homemade one wouldn't be that difficult. Sure beats trying to shove our Goldens ass up onto the boat.

Naw, but have had my noggin hit with the handle of this several times.
