So glad your outcome was positive, I know that feeling. Crystal was off her lead on a deserted beach, as she always came to me as we went up the steps to the Promenade. This particular day, a garbage collection truck suddenly appeared, with its top light flashing and just as she reached the point of ascendancy. Scared by this monster, she bolted, covering 200 yards towards the road! Fortunately a kindly soul intervened and diverted her attention until I could catch up. I lived out every horror possible in those few seconds of prolapse I can tell you. Ever since she has had a 20m flexi-lead, it was my fault of course. The relief of clutching her to my chest was a wonderful feeling... |
