Had a big scare yesterday - I'll try and make this as short as possible. My husband is disabled - He has a bad back and has had a few heart attacks - so he is the stay at home dad for my skin kids and my pups. The weather being the way it is - my entire front lawn is a sheet of ice - that's usually where we walk Baxter. So I warn him yesterday - stay off the lawn - (he had a fall the other day walking the dog and it was not as frozen as it was yesterday) Anyways - he listens - but decides to venture down the driveway to the mailbox - Driveway looked pretty good -but when he got to the street - the black ice got him - and down he went - this time straight on his tail bone on ice and cement. Poor guy is on many pain pills to begin with - but the pain was BAD - really BAD as he puts it - As he falls - he drops the leash- the retractable kind - the kind that when you let go - it chases Baxter - and Baxter is running for his life - straight out of my yard - to the neighbors - We never let him off his leash - we just don't have that kind of control over him - as much as we try, we don't. I can't even imagine what is going thru my husbands mind at this time.:eek: He sees the dog running - and he has fallen and can't get up - He yells for Baxter and the good baby that he is- I guess hearing the urgency in his voice - comes running back - leash in tow - and sits right on his lap - my husband was able to get himself up and get into the house - all he could do is kiss that dog!!!!!!! As I was driving home all these thoughts of what if's kept coming to mind - I pray for anyone that has a missing pup - I can't imagine going to bed last night without knowing he was safe and warm - I know I'm a lucky one cause he was snuggled up right next to me - but something like this can scar you for life. In a second everything can change - Enjoy every second you can !!!! |
:( I'm so sorry this happened to your husband and furbaby! Thank goodness Baxter came back!!!! I can just imagine how terrified your husband must have been...not to mention the pain he must have been in. Hope your hubby is feeling better today. |
So sorry to hear your husband fell, falling smack on your tailbone is the worst pain!! I'm glad your pup is safe! |
I hope hubby isnt in too much additional pain from his fall. Baxter your a good boy for comming back to help daddy get up! |
Ouch! It hurt me just to read it. I hope your hubby feels better and happy that your baby was such a good boy! |
I'm thrilled the outcome was positive for your pup, but I sincerely hope your DH will feel better real soon. |
Yes, that was quite a scare for both your husband and your Yorkie. I am glad they are both safe and sound. I live in NY also and the ice is not to be believed! When walking Buddy in the past winters I have fallen several times and worry about breaking a hip. This past couple of days have been a nightmare walking him. Everything is prue ice. I do hope some melts today but does not re-freeze again tonight which makes it even worse. Tell hubby to be very careful. I envy those who's little ones go on a pee- pad this time of year. |
That's so scary! I'm so glad that Buddy is such a good little guy; they really do know when they need to come back I think! I hope your dh will not be in too much more pain than usual; I feel so lame now for when I used to complain about a LITTLE black ice once in a great while:( . |
Tail bone injury is the absolute worst! I hope your husband feels better soon! |
I am sorry to hear about your hubby's fall and hoping for a speedy recovery. I am very glad your little baby is safe at home:thumbup: |
Blessings on your husband and a speedy recovery. |
hugs for the guys |
Oh my gosh that accident could have been so much worse. Thank you Lord that it wasn't. I'll bet poor hubby is sore today. My prayers are with him. |
Thanks so much for all the well wishes - I did speak with him (dh) a little bit ago- He's very sore - but will be fine. As for Baxter - He has no clue - just feeling more love (not sure that's even possible). Enjoy your Holidays!!!!!! and be careful |
Sorry for your hubby glad Baxter is safe ...take care |
