But it was not about My Jeter. Another Yorkie named Gracie almost got hit by 2 cars while I was outside today! Her Daddy usually walks her down to the school to get his kids. I live by a public school's 8th grade building, and have a catholic elementary school that is accros the street from me and also behind my house is the 4 -12 catholic building, so it is real busy at dismissal time by my house. I had Jeter out side with me waiting for my boy's to walk home. Well, Gracie daddy was carring her today because he left her collar at home but he had the leash. He sees us out side and came down to say Hi, he sat Gracie down in my front yard to see Jeter and Gracie started to walk away to the driveway and he told her to stop well she took off for the street
a car stopped but only because a child ran to help get the dog
not good either
Well Gracie run under a van that was parked in front of my house. Her dad went to get her and she darted out back in traffic and almost got hit again! but this time her dad is the one to stop the car from hitting her
! She must of been scared cause she went back under the Van. My heart is up in my throat by now, I really thought she was going to get killed!! My oldest son had just got home from the public Jr High building and had seen what was going on, He came over and I handed him Jeter and I then went to the front tier and sat in the grass and called Gracie to me. Luckily she came to me. When she got to me I scooped her in my arms and hugged her and yelled I got her to her owner. He was so shaken up by all this and he said that this was the first time he has ever had her out of his yard with out her leash, and Never again will he take the chance. I am still not over all this happining, and she is not even my dog! I can't imagine how Gracies Daddy was feeling almost loosing his girl. I did used this as a learning aid to my kids on why Jeter is always to be on his leash when taken outside!!
