| Scare of a lifetime I had the worst thing happen on Friday right after lunch. I was walking quickly in one direction and wee Sophie darted in my path and I hit her with my forward swinging leg. She gave out 1 yelp and fell down, head turned to the side, eyes open, small shallow breathes but not moving at all. I was out of my mind with fear that I had injured her terminally! She was totally limp as a rag. We scooped her up and headed to the nearest Emergency Vet which, fortunately is only about 3 miles from our office. All the way there she still was the same. As we turned into the parking lot she suddenly became alert and moving. They took her straight back and within a few minutes they told us she appeared to be fine. They kept her for 4 hours of observation as she showed a slow neurological response on her rear right leg, which returned to normal quickly. Apparently I knocked her out cold! OMG I have never been as frightened in my life. She has been totally fine all weekend and had a follow up visit with our normal vet first thing this morning. I think I will get something the size of a cow bell for her to wear. |

| Awww they do get in the way sometimes! The cow bell would drive me crazy but I don't blame you for being scared! I'm glad things are looking good today

| OMG! How horrible! You must learn to do the 'Yorkie Shuffle'. It's done by sliding your feet across the floor , as opposed to lifting your feet when you walk. The most damage you can do that way is trip them up! Doesn't hurt to slow down a bit and take smaller steps too! So glad that she's okay...

| Yes, the Yorkie Shuffle is a must. It was the hardest thing for my DH to learn. He figured it out quickly though after "punting" Gracie Ruth across the room. He felt so awful. The kids are older now, but I still find myself shuffling from time to time.

| Somebody is always tripping over our Yorkie. If it's not me it's somebody else. I've learned to walk with my eyes on the floor because he is always underfoot. I remember my mom falling over our Beagle a long time ago and my mom broke her arm. I remember being asleep in my bedroom and hearing the dog yelp. Well I came out screaming "What did you do to my dog" meanwhile my mom was on the floor with a broken arm crying. |
