Think you had had bad day? Read this!
 

I am out the door ready for our 1st Puppy training with my Yorkie puppy, JAZZI, his goodie bag, etc. Open car door to place him on car seat, only to see numerous tiny pieces of glass all over car seat. I quickly tried to stop motion, of placing him on seat, goodie bag slips forward off my sholder, causing me to loose hold of Jazzi, he bolts out car door and starts running across street, amazing how fast they can fly, thank goodness no cars. I run across street to plead with him in everyway, and of course he thinks it's a game. Jazzi starts running back across street with me close behind. I look up as he was nearing street only to see a Van coming right at him. I tried to pick up my pace to flag Van to stop, only to fall on my face sliding on concrete drive. Looking, and trying to run again, Van was already closer to Jazzi. I watched in horror as he was about one foot away and he pulled up right as Van passed, unaware what almost happened. I finally scooped him up, crying, out of breath, having heart attack moment, and he just starts giving me Yorkie kisses. He thought we just had a playful romp. Cleaned up glass, no time to change clothes that had blood stains, tried to see around smashed windshield, nothing was going to stop me, we really needed training! Arrive breathless at Petsmart, only to be told, Puppy training class was cancelled. No, we're sorry, we should have notified you. I swear I wanted to scream at the top of my lungs ,in the middle of the store a few choice words, you can guess what they were. If I drank, I would have today. I may never leave the house again, at least not without him in carrier, even leash worries me due to stray dogs. I admit I tend to hold him tight in my arms thinking he will be safe. I do keep a carrier in car for him. We just never know what might happen that is not expected. Yes, I feel guilty because they depend on us to protect them. I am now looking for a serious dependable private training. Thanks for listening and maybe story will save someone else from a heart attic Yorkie moment. Any YT members had a close call they will admit to or share stories ? Have a great Yorkie Day!

Oh my! What a day. You need a nice hot bubble bath and a hot cup of tea.

I am so glad that Jazzi was safe and sound from his romp. Sending hugs :ghug:

Sorry about your bad day!!! i'm Glad nothing happened to Jazzi!!!!!

Oh my! Nothing like this has ever happened to me but I am SO SO sorry you had to go through that. Glad to hear both you and baby are okay, though. Maybe tomorrow will be better?

Wow! I'm sorry you had such an aweful day! I would have had a heart attack seeing that van coming! I'm so glad he's okay!

Lacy always goes outside on a leash, but there have been a few times that she's gotten away from me (came out of her harness once when she was like 6 months old, leash broke once, and has ran out the door before). Luckily no close calls like you had with a car. They always resulted in me chasing her down though and of course me praying she wouldn't get into the street and get ran over. Her coming out of her harness was at a park...chased her all over the park. Then the leash broke and I chased her down the sidewalk. (both of these were the same harness/leash set...). Then she used to try to bolt out of the house a lot as a puppy/young adult. She's pretty good about not trying that anymore though. Once she got out at my parents' house....they live out in the country on 48 acres (but there is a highway in front of the property). She took off behind the house and behind the pond and started to go into the woods. I had flip flops on and am terrified of snakes...luckily she came out and I was able to catch her.

Oh dear! You definitely had a tough day! Chattiesmom is right - you need a cup of hot tea to sooth your grayed nerves.:)

Wow, glad everyone is ok. Well, you'll be a little sore, but, at least Jazzi is fine. Yes, we had a day like that. Roxy shot out the front door as I was leaving to go to work. Now, my running days are far behind me, so I yelled for my dtr. She takes off without her shoes, me right behind her. There are kid playing up the street so I figure they will grab her. WRONG! They run after her and she thinks the game is just getting better. She runs faster heading for the main street with alot of traffic. She makes it across the street between the cars, my dtr almost gets hit by 2 different cars. I look both ways and make it across huffing and puffing. Up a hill, thru several yards and across a small field we go. Finally, we get to a cemetary and I trick her by offering her a snack. That was the first time - the second time she squeezed out between the fencing at the school tennis courts and took off towards the stadium. Yes, there was a football game going on. My dtr and her friend are running thru the players and cheerleaders in hot pursuit of Roxy and I am trying to make it to the other entrance of the stadium before she gets there. Too many kids fussing over her - she got sidetracked and stopped to be the center of attention and got caught. Yikes, they are fast little buggers. Remi just walks thru the fence and goes over to the next door neighbors fence and pees on it. That's as far as he will go.

yea here's mine!

the ppl that used to live next door to my fiance' had a white german sheppard/wolf/devil dog, and he hated me! he attacked me several times...once while i was standing in jeremy's yard talking to his parents! and another time he chased me across the lawn and about the time i opened jeremy's front door, the dog jumped on my back and helped push me through the door and into their living room....needless to say, me and this dog didnt get along!!!

so one day i was going over to jeremy's with odie in hand. i have never used any type of doggy seat or carrier for him, he always just sits in my lap and hangs his head out the window =]

so i pull up jeremy's driveway (which has an incline/hill to it) and as soon as i turned the truck off, OUT the window odie jumps!!!

my first thought was "omg devil dog from next door is going to get him and then me!" and my second thought was, "CARS!"

other than running from the demon dog next door, i dont think i have ever ran soo fast. but odie recognized the tone in my voice real quick like and just ran and bunckered down at jeremys door! he knew he was in serious trouble. but once he realized i was checking him to make sure he wasnt injured from jumping out the truck window he gave me lots of kisses and i couldnt be mean and punish him but he knew what he did was wrong.

that was the first and last time he ever jumped out of the vehicle thank god!

ok, so who's next!! hehe

Wow, so glad all ended so good.. that van being that close had to be a horrible feeling to you.. I can imagine what was going through your mind..
I am so glad all turned out ok..
some one suggested a good hot bath... I agree.... maybe as disappointing the class being cancelled was.. it was probably best.. I am sure you must have be too rattled at this stage...

What you need now is a hot bubble bath and a tall glass of wine;) Glad everything is okay now:D

Oh hun you did have a day. Big hugs (I'll have that drink for you :D )

I can tell that all happened in slow motion for you. How horrifying!!

~hugs~ from us!

OMG! You DID have a bad day! I have to admit I laughed a little when you said that you fell flat on your face......only because it sounded like something that I would do! I'm glad that Jazzi is okay. You may want to put her on a leash when you're out of the house. My pups sometimes still don't come when I call them.....especially when they see a critter or deer on our property. They will chase them all the way into the woods. I'm glad everything turned out okay!

Should not say I enjoyed story, however since it ended well, it was kinda cute , and I could tell you knew exactly how I felt. Thanks for your reply

Oh my gosh, that is a horrible day:( I'm so glad that you and Jaz are safe, though:love: Could have turned out much much worse.

They say pets are good for your health, that must be because they keep us moving, laughing, on the verge of a fit, and fill our every waking moment with such joy. Sawyer ran out the front door once to get the garbage truck ( he hates the noice). I was right behind him scared he would get crushed by that huge truck. That rotten little dog jumped right up on the step the man stands on to ride to the next can. The garbage men laughed so hard, and wanted to make him their mascot. Just what I need, my dog riding a garbage truck like the Budweiser dalmation. Now they toot their horn when they come to our cans, hoping I guess that sawyer will make a repeat visit!! This is one definetly retired Mascot.:rolleyes:

I was with you through out your whole story and now I am out of breath and I am being serious...

Oh how horrible it was for you My goodness gracious alive.. I would have wanted to (kill not literally but just a phrase to say
) BLEU BOY!

I would have just been in the same shape as you and you know what..... I would not have changed one thing except I would have told my boy to keep kissing cause he was gonna make up for all that!

You did all that to get him into classes and they cancelled.. How aggravating I would have been beyond mad!

Have a sweet day it is all over and yes I did chuckle not at you but with you !

Bless your heart...:( The one thing you don't want to do with them though is run after them, or they do think you're playing and will keep running, kind of like little kids do...hope today is a better day for you and you're not too skinned up..hugs to you

:( Oh my, what a day! Hope things have calmed down a little now. Poor baby!

wow...that was a doozy of a day!! :( i am so glad nothing happened to your baby and she was kept out of harms way...

i am hoping that today is a BETTER day!!! {{{hugs}}} to you! :)

Close One
 

You should try and take a load off today. My story started on a nice spring morning last year. I let Sophie outside to potty. I walked to the computer, probably reading YT ;). Literally about 2 minutes later the phone rang and someone asked me "Are you missing a little dog named Sophie?" :eek: OMG! A neighbor I had never met before had her about 2 blocks away. Thank goodness we had just put a little tag on her little collar with her name and our phone number. I freaked out and ran down the street barefoot in my pajamas. I am positive I looked like a lunatic. I stalked her in the yard and discovered she could squeeze through a tiny space under the chain link fence. Needless to say, hubby spent the evening Sophie proofing the fence :p .

OMG!!! I so glad Jazzi is okay. I just sent you a pm'd.

I'm glad she is okay and I hope you are having a nice Friday! ;)

Aww! So glad everything is ok, and I promise, I didn't laugh until the story ended, and only because I can relate!! :D

wow.. sounds like not quite the fun time you were expecting! Someone posted here a little while ago that a guy tried to steal her pup from her arms in the petsmart (or petco) parking lot... I really highly recommend to always always have your pup tethered to you, even if you are just running out for a minute.. its just safer that way!

Glad you & jazzi are ok though :)

Lordy what a doozy of a day! Thank goodness Jazzi wasn't hurt and your injuries are minor.

Oh my what a day from Hades you have had. I have two Yorkies and a Westie. My Westie is named Jazzy (different spelling) and she's a wild one like your Jazzi. We did puppy classes which helped her a lot. She's a big girl of four now, but still playful. Must be the name. LOL
