Yes, but what happens if she implies that she was having sex and her flatmate lets slip that the accident involved the dog? Also, you know what gossips her department is full of, imagine how long it would take to live that one down. (Especially if people think it was bestiality.)

This icon represents the size of dog it's reasonable to trip over because you didn't see her, especially since they like to lurk just behind your ankles. Maybe the dog is in fact a witch and can become invisible or something? actually, from what you report, getting that dog to behave *is* something world-changing and heroic.

Virtual tea and sympathy, hon, and I hope you did sensible things with ice and rest.
