On Sunday nite my friend told me to come over and bring some movies so I got the movies and then wanted some chai tea so stopped and got some tea for both of us and went to her house. When I got there I was trying to figure out how I could bring the movies, the 2 teas, my purse and Teddi all in the house so I grabbed the movies and put them under my arm and opened my purse (it's kinda big) and put Teddi inside then picked up both the teas in each hand. Everything was fine until we got 3 steps from the top of her stairs and she heard us and opened the door...it was like slow motion because I wanted to say NO but didn't have time. She opened the door and her dog ran out so Teddi jumped out of the purse (it wasn't a dog purse so there wasn't a clip or anything to hold her in). Well she fell on the stairs but luckily she fell on her feet kinda but then stumbled and fell through the stairs and we heard a splash. My friend ran down the stairs and then came back up holding Teddi soaking wet with HUGE EYES. Luckily under her stairs the lady who owns the main house has plants and this old bath tub that is a waterfall thing. I think Teddi hit some bushes on the way into the water because she had 2 leaves stuck to her. My friend said she was swimming away frantically in the water. I think that her sweater had instead of becomming a floation device was pulling her down because it was water loged. We took her inside pulled off the sweater and then wrapped her in a towel. I put her in the sink and started blowdrying her when I finished I said how do we know if something is wrong with her and my friend said put her down. So I did and she immediately ran and started playing with my friends dog!! The rest of the night randomly I would say "I can't believe she tried to commit suicide" and my friend would say "I can't believe she pulled a Greg Louganis". She is a 2 lb super dog! Note to self....get Teddi a tiny crash helmet and a life vest! From not on Teddi is going to be zipped in her carrier....I have no idea what I want thinking taking that chance...thank GOD for the swimming pool below, it could have been cement! Now you shouldn't feel so bad about Rocky! |
OMG I'm so glad Teddi is o.k. I would've been sooo scared. It was probably for the best that there was the tub under the stairs, the water was probably alot softer then a floor! These little guys can be a lot tougher than we sometimes believe then to be. Bella is really small framed and she's constantly running around and hits her head A LOT.. Even with all the times Rocky fell in the past 2 days, he hasn't once cried (and he usually cries at everything!)
Thanks for sharing your story, it does help me feel less guilty knowing I'm not the only yorkie-owner who has dropped their baby. I know not to let certain people carry them because they might drop them, but I never think of myself as dropping them.
