            2. Rachael, thank you…toughness can be rather a mixed blessing, especially to a caregiver.

              Case in point, I fell today, and lacerated my legs rather badly. Didn’t hurt, though; other pain took CNS priority.

              When my wife came home she asked about the bloody gashes, and I said, oh, yes, no big deal.

              To me it wasn’t; she’s learning what living with a former merc is like, but to her it still smacks of either posturing or pretense, and was profoundly irritating.

              Dogs get it; they’re like, oh, blood. OK. Whatever. Can you scratch behind my ears, please?

            3. Good point. toughness and constant pain can be deceiving. I bet she was upset it happened at all, more than that you were nonchalant about it. Of course, if you’ve always been a tough guy, maybe it’s more of an eye-roll from her. haha You tough guys are all alike, always spouting blood all over the floor, acting like it’s no big deal. Blood stains! 😉 Dogs be like, Oh dude, that’s good, ’cause now mom won’t know I peed in the corner. That stain’ll totally distract her.
