Wishing Daisy a speedy recovery !
How terrible your friend must of felt. What a trying experience for you to go through. Today I told my husband off because he was trying to teach Mya to go down the stairs. I don't want her to do that because she would be easily distracted by our other dog or cat and fall down the stairs. Our just fall down the stairs on her own. I will show him the pic of Daisy in her cast to remind him of how a small fall can cause damage never mind a tumble down stairs.
Today my husband was looking for his steel toe work shoes that he has not worn in about 6 years. In one of the shoes was my s**tzu's favorite ball. It made me cry to see it. RIP - General. We talked about how General was small but so muscular. We used to say his lil legs were like Popeye's arms.
I asked my husband if he regreted having a "delicate" dog now. He said that Mya is the one the best things that has ever happened to us and understands why I am so protective.
The truth is that you can't be there for every second and that accidents do happen. Even I forget how tiny Mya is until she is wet from her bath or I see her sleeping with the cat and notice she is 1/3 of the size of our cat.
