Whew!!!!! So glad Miss made it OK!

OMG how scary. I am so glad she is ok. Miracles so happen.

TresCutePiggies · 07-13-2009, 08:00 AM

I am so glad that Missy is okay! Thank goodness!

My friend's in-laws lost a pom puppy that way. They were devastated. The husband stood up and closed the recliner, and the puppy was right underneath where the foot part folds up.

I am so glad to hear that your baby is OK. We had a very different ending with a kitten of ours before we got our yorkie, Riley. Our cat had a litter of kittens and we had decided to keep the little runt. His name was Tucker. We couldn't find him one evening and he had gotten under one of the recliners and died. We were devastated. When we got our yorkie back in December, my husband disabled every single recliner in the house. (We have theater seating so there are 5). We are getting a new kitten tomorrow and they are staying that way. He was so precious! I hope that people realize the danger.

I'm so glad she is O.K. My neice's dog was walking infront of the recliner and just as her brother Devon put the leg rest up The poor dog was thrown up in the air. Tank God the couch was there. Typing this it sounds funny,but that dog weighs a little over 3 lbs. She could've been killed easily. Recliners are trouble,my kids were always getting caught or pinched by them.

This literally made my jaw drop.

Yahhh, I'm so glad Missy's okay!!! Oh my goodness. Such a miracle!

LilMissy · 07-13-2009, 09:57 AM

Thanks for being supportive everyone. We are normally very cautious with the recliner. The kids had *just* asked me if it was ok that they sit on it because Missy was asleep at my feet. For some reason Missy got up without me noticing. I had already disabled the recliner so that the foot rest couldn't be raised and blocked the area behind so that Missy couldn't get caught underneath it. I never in a million yrs thought she could squeak under the front if it was rocked too hard.

Ya live, ya learn I guess. Never again will I own a recliner/rocker. It's not safe for pets or children.

ARCHIE · 07-13-2009, 09:59 AM

Missy was truly blessed. That could have been an unhappy ending for sure.
Those recliners are so comfy but the damage they can do a small pup
is really scary. I am so happy your Missy is ok.
I have read where they have fallen off the back of the recliner and
gotten severly injured.
I did come down on Buddy one night, he never sleeps there, never,
and he screamed, I screamed and he ran around the room not knowing
what to attack first he was so upset.
I can laugh at his reaction now but at the time I was so scared I had
hurt him.
Accidents happen. Your poor children must have been so frightened.
Glad everyone is ok.
Missing is one strong little lady.

Big hugs for little Missy.

So glad she's fine. Wow what a scare. Poor little thing. They really are quick.

They are so super fast, and being so small she can get through spaces and into areas that I would never even think that she could. I love owning a tiny and wouldn't give Missy up for the world, but it IS stressful owning such a wee thing. Dh says our next Yorkie has to be bigger. He can't handle owning such a fragile dog and worries about her constantly. She really has "stolen his heart" as he says, which I find so funny considering that he didn't even want a Yorkie in the first place. These little cuties sure know how to turn a tough guy into mush.

Anyways, I was expecting some people to bash me, and I was prepared for that. Alot of people feel that Yorkies and small children don't mix. My children are very kind and gentle with animals, and would never intentionally hurt any animal. They were devastated when this happened to Missy. We implemented alot of new "house rules" when we got Missy and the children have been incredible about following each and every one of them. They aren't even allowed to hold Missy while standing up and they must be seated on the floor with Missy in their lap if they want to hold her. I thought that we had taken every precaution to make sure that Missy was safe, but I guess not. I'm just so glad that she is OK.

Thanks again for all the kind and supportive posts. I appreciate it

AmyChristine · 07-13-2009, 11:00 AM

I can only imagine how scary this was for you, I am glad that everything turned out the way it did. I too believe that positive thought and prayer can really make a difference. Big hugs to you and Missy.

You know what kids are kids. they mean no harm. It was an accident that's all. I can't tell you how many times my Pebbles (4lbs) gets under something. Who would ever have thought that she would take off under that chair. . I hate when my husband is in the recliner I am constantly saying be careful she's under there. Missy just wanted a little snack that's all!! Sure am glad she is fine and now the kids learned another thing they can't do. (Poor kids

) I know what it is like I have 4. I personally think the kids are much easier than these little boogers!!

Sweetlips6 · 07-13-2009, 12:39 PM

Our recliner is my husband's "comfort zone and haven" after he has worked hard all day, and I would never ask him to give it up. HOWEVER,
I am constantly watching and worrying over Bonnie. She is so nosey, and wants to stick her little nose and head where they don't belong.
I feel like I am on "recliner watch" all night.
"Bonnie get your head out of there" "Bonnie move away from there" "Don't get up -Bonnie is under the foot rest" etc!!
What happened to Missy is one of my greatest fears. Only it wouldn't be the weight of two small children....
I am so glad Missy is alright. Maybe it scared her enough that she won't try to run under there again.

mscat · 07-13-2009, 12:42 PM

My brother and sister n law have a recliner .and lots of little dogs in the house. I hate that thing. It could have happened to anyone. Children or not. Recliners are dangers , when having little animals around . My SIL sits in that chair the most, u can't see the dogs at all underneath that chair. She the SIL is a heavy set woman, so she likes the comfort of the oversized chair. IMO, at their house, it's an accident waiting to happen.
I am very happy your little missy is ok. That was a very close call. I beleive your little son had the power of faith on his side.
