*A:M User* Shelton Posted July 11, 2012 *A:M User* Posted July 11, 2012 Sometimes in life we do dumb things. It has been hot here for the last few weeks. Today was around 100, cool front! Our three standard poodles got out of our fence thanks to a neighbor boy forgetting to shut the fence gate. I realized they were not in the back yard I went out the front door with bare feet. I ran down the street (which is a huge deal for me as I have not been able to run since knee replacement two years ago) for two blocks. I could not find the dogs so I ran back to the house to get my car... Well the good news is all three dogs were found and are safe back in the house. The dumb thing is I was running with bare feet on asphalt with the temps around 100. Yes I have blisters all over the bottom of my feet from burns. I did not realize they were burnt until we got the dogs home. Now I can't stop thinking of how much my feet hurt! I can remember growing up in Fort Worth and went every where with bare feet in the middle of summer and never thought anything about it. Oh to be a kid again Steve Quote
Hash Fellow robcat2075 Posted July 11, 2012 Hash Fellow Posted July 11, 2012 I don't care what the climate deniers say, I think streets are getting hotter. I've never gone barefoot anywhere since i moved to Texas 30 years ago because I read there's some ghastly parasite common in the dirt around here. But I do miss going barefoot. Quote
Hash Fellow robcat2075 Posted July 11, 2012 Hash Fellow Posted July 11, 2012 Hope you recover soon and your new knee is OK! Quote
itsjustme Posted July 11, 2012 Posted July 11, 2012 I never go outside without shoes of some kind on...parasites like hookworms and such would not be a good thing. Hope you recover quickly, Steve! Quote
zandoriastudios Posted July 11, 2012 Posted July 11, 2012 Get you some of these--It's like barefoot, but protects your feet Quote

Hash Fellow robcat2075 Posted July 12, 2012 Hash Fellow Posted July 12, 2012 And I'm glad to hear you got your dogs back safe. I bet they didn't burn their feet. Quote
Gerry Posted July 12, 2012 Posted July 12, 2012 Glad you're healing, Steve! OK is not a place to go barefoot. I did, once, and that was plenty. Quote
Admin Rodney Posted July 17, 2012 Admin Posted July 17, 2012 My sympathies! I suspect it's hard to stay off your feet long enough for them to heal. Quote
