Think you had had bad day? Read this! I am out the door ready for our 1st Puppy training with my Yorkie puppy, JAZZI, his goodie bag, etc. Open car door to place him on car seat, only to see numerous tiny pieces of glass all over car seat. I quickly tried to stop motion, of placing him on seat, goodie bag slips forward off my sholder, causing me to loose hold of Jazzi, he bolts out car door and starts running across street, amazing how fast they can fly, thank goodness no cars. I run across street to plead with him in everyway, and of course he thinks it's a game. Jazzi starts running back across street with me close behind. I look up as he was nearing street only to see a Van coming right at him. I tried to pick up my pace to flag Van to stop, only to fall on my face sliding on concrete drive. Looking, and trying to run again, Van was already closer to Jazzi. I watched in horror as he was about one foot away and he pulled up right as Van passed, unaware what almost happened. I finally scooped him up, crying, out of breath, having heart attack moment, and he just starts giving me Yorkie kisses. He thought we just had a playful romp. Cleaned up glass, no time to change clothes that had blood stains, tried to see around smashed windshield, nothing was going to stop me, we really needed training! Arrive breathless at Petsmart, only to be told, Puppy training class was cancelled. No, we're sorry, we should have notified you. I swear I wanted to scream at the top of my lungs ,in the middle of the store a few choice words, you can guess what they were. If I drank, I would have today. I may never leave the house again, at least not without him in carrier, even leash worries me due to stray dogs. I admit I tend to hold him tight in my arms thinking he will be safe. I do keep a carrier in car for him. We just never know what might happen that is not expected. Yes, I feel guilty because they depend on us to protect them. I am now looking for a serious dependable private training. Thanks for listening and maybe story will save someone else from a heart attic Yorkie moment. Any YT members had a close call they will admit to or share stories ? Have a great Yorkie Day! |
