| HUGE scare this morning So I took Rocky out, and didn't put his leash on him for 2 reasons, 1 being that theres snow so he really doesn't run around in the snow, 2 was that he had his boots on and he can't really run in his boots. This is like the only time I didn't have his leash on him, I always put it on him because I'm afraid he'll run, or another dog might run up to him, except this morning for some reason I just didnt. So anyways, I was standing out there with him, trying to get something out of my trunk when he saw a kid across the street..he starts RUNNING! All of a sudden I see a school bus heading down the street I got soo panicked! I ran into the street (I really didn't care if the bus hit me or not, alls I could think about was him) and he stopped, and the bus stopped about 25ft in front of us. I don't know if the bus driver saw him, or maybe just me running into the street so then she stopped, but whatever the case is, I'm so thankful and lucky and blessed that nothing happened to him. I did have his leash in my pocket, so of course I put it on him right away. So now, even though I always did have his leash on him (except this morning) there will never be ANY exceptions. It was like for that quick second before I got him my life with him flashed before my eyes. I was even tearing up just with the thoughts going through my head. As soon as Rocky and I got back inside, I started praying to God. I know an angel was watching over my baby today I just still can't get over how the ONE time I don't put his leash on him, this happens. I guess it was a blessing though, because it taught me to always leash him no matter what.

| Thank goodness you saw him and the bus stopped. I can't even think about that... I always put a leash on Bailey now also, because she will see a bird or a rabbit and off she goes. I even pick her now up before I answer the front door because she runs out on the porch to say hi, and I can just see me having to run down the street in my barefeet and pj's..LOL.. I am very glad everything turned out well, he definately had his little guardian angel watching over him.

I'm glad you can learn from my experience too I'd rather have people learn from my mistake, then make it on their own and learn a different way That's part of my reason for posting this, just you NEVER know what can happen, even if you think it's O.K, something can go wrong. I forgot to mention, he hates the boots, but is "allowing" me to put them on, but he always acts like he can't walk..and of course after he ran into the street, he acts like it's SOOOO hard to walk again Here's a pic of him in his wintergear....the pink boots were a mistake, thought I ordered blue, but turns out he's able to rock them!

| How fortunate that nothing happened to either of you! I'm lucky to have a fenced backyard that my babies can't get out of because it's pitch black when I first take them out in the a.m. It's scary how fast they are!

| How scary!! We live on a main thoroughfare and the few times Sissy has escaped, she ran right into the street. I'm sure my hubby and I looked ridiculous stopping traffic till the other had her in their arms, but you gotta do what you gotta do!!

| Thank goodness you two weren't hurt! I think every single one of us would do the same thing ... you just don't think of yourself if your baby is in danger! OK, Rocky, don't scare your Mom again!!!

| Thanks for all your kind words everyone. I really felt bad after this happened, like OMG what could've happened. Reading everyones words on here and how glad you guys are that Rocky and I are O.K makes me feel so much better Especially because it still hasn't SUNK IN as to what could've happened to me, only about Rocky. LexieRae, Amber, and everyone else who ran out to get their furbaby, I'm glad you guys are O.K also. It's crazy how you don't even think of what can happen to yourself until after the fact. I probably would've been either dead, or in ICU right now if that bus didn't stop!, but I look at it this way, the bus would've done less damage to me then what it would've to him. It seems like many of us have had this scare Bettyanne, I will definitly pass your message on to him! and of course, I would do the same thing in a heartbeat, no questions asked! Just hopefully it won't happen again!
