I'm going to try to collect my thoughts enough to post this, I just had the most horrible experience ever and I'm feeling like this is completely my fault.
I was working and Tasha was whining to go out. I got up to take her out but decided to put her out on the tie-out for a few minutes because I wasn't going out with her and I didn't want her to race to the edge of the yard and spaz at the neighbor kids if they were out. I clipped the lead on and told her okay and I didn't even have time to think or react, she shot out at full speed, I don't know if she saw a squirrel or what, she didn't know she was hooked up to the tie-out... she hit the end of the tie out at full speed, and hit the ground with a horrible thud. I cried out in sheer terror, I thought she had snapped her neck and I had gotten her killed. I ran out to her and she stumbled to her feet with vomit dripping out of her mouth and shaking. I screamed for David and he came running out, I couldn't coherently really tell him what happened I was so torn up and still terrified something horrible was wrong with her.
She seemed to snap out of her daze when she saw him and she started frantically licking my face because I was crying. She seemed okay at that point but I took her in and the vet tech looked her over (vet wasn't there) and said there didn't appear to be any injury and just to watch her.
She seems completely normal now, she's laying here relaxing, but I can't get over it. I feel like I should have known that could happen, should have been more careful, led her out on it or just gone out with her to begin with. I feel like such a horrible mom. I'd never ever ever have forgiven myself if something had happened. I'm having a hard enough time as it is, and she's okay.
