Your pup will be OK. I can't tell you the mishaps I had with Archie when he was little. On his very first night home, at 3 months old, I accidently bounced a small rubber ball off his head! I was terrified. He squeeked for a second, but was fine. Another time, I was carrying him through the house and tripped and fell. I hit the floor hard, but managed to "throw him free" of the carnage! I've accidently kicked him, too. As long as your pup shows no signs of being physically hurt, he'll be OK. The trick is never to make a big deal out of these mishaps, so that they don't become fearfull and nervous. Just say, in a bright voice, "Oh, my goodness! Mommy's so clumsy!"
