OHHHH man I know exactly how you feel. The same thing happened to Louie just last week. I have all hardwood floors in my house now, and Louie gets very excited whenever someone is coming or going from the house, and my daughter and her bf were leaving and Louie who was in the kitchen with me....went flying to run after them and couldnt stop in time and slid onto the stairs and bounced down them. I was soooo scared! He was stunned but okay thank GOD! Another time when he was really small, I happened to go downstairs into the garage to get some Christmas stuff out and the poor little thing must have been peeking over or took one step or something and I heard boom,boom,boom.....I screamed like a mad woman and found him at the bottom of about 5 stairs. I put gates up right after that, but took them down recently thinking it was time and he was old enough to know better. |
