I feel like the worst mom in the entire world...I was walking out of the family room and over the puppy gate and didn't realize Lola was right under my feet...I somehow slipped and stepped on her. Luckily I was able to hold myself some and not put my weight on her. She cried for what seemed like an eternity but probably about 20 secs.

Once I calmed her down she didn't want to get out of my lap. She did walk around the room (for treats) b/c I wanted to make sure she didn't limp.

I am SO scared...she seems okay but is in her crate ( I have one on the floor in the family room that she can go in and out of as she pleases) I am sure she was scared to death but I am worried about any injuries she may have gotten. I inspected her and moved arms/pushed areas and she didn't cry or seem bothered. If it helps, I think it was more of her middle section...I feel so guilty and sad right now.

Has this happened to anyone else???? I honestly can't stop crying I feel so awful that I hurt my baby. Any suggestions about what I should do? The vet is closed until tomorrow and they don't seem to be that great about last minute appointments but there is an emergency vet if I had to? Maybe I am over reacting...any advice would be great.

Thanks so much.
