Oh my gosh. We just went through a TERRIFYING experience. I am wanting to smack myself in the face after that whole thing....

After I left my house, I stopped and picked up a pizza and then continued on to my boyfriend's place. I stepped out of the car and set the little girl down on the ground. I had her on a leash and harness because the collar seemed to freak her out. Well all of a sudden, she tried to dart under the car. I think that is her comfort zone because she really smells like she's been living under cars. I bent down to gently pull her out and she tensed her whole body and picked her head up. Her head went between the space where my back tire is. I tried to pull it out a few times, but she was stuck. Trying not to panic, I reached around me and grabbed her can of open dog food from work. I tried to entice her to move her head certain ways, but she was freaked out and wouldn't follow the food. Then she started spazzing out and moving her body all around until her head got wedged above the tire. I had to support her whole body and make sure she could breath and TRY to stay calm so she'd stop flailing. I started yelling for help but no one was around. Thankfully my cell phone was within reach and I called my boyfriend (he was at work not at home). He didn't answer. I paged him and called him a dozen times in a row. Then I really started to panic and scream for help some more. I finally called my boyfriend again and he picked up. He dropped everything at work and raced home. Thankfully, it is only about a 7 minute drive. By the time he got there, I had been out there for 25-30 minutes with her head stuck. My back was about to collapse. It has already been hurting from a kidney infection and then it started hurting even worse because I couldn't shift positions. It took a lot of manuevering and a lot of praying, but my boyfriend remained calm and got her out eventually. She was shaken up, but okay. I have her in the crate resting right now. I warmed her up some canned dog food as a treat. That was something I NEVER want to experience again. I can't tell you how scared I was that she'd strangle herself or something. Oh my. Oh yeah and my pizza ended up upside down on top of my car, ah well. I don't care about anything else, just that the little girl is okay.

So, long story short, it will take me a bit longer to get some pics

*edit* Just looked in the mirror and I'm covered in black streaks all over my face, arms, and hands. You'd think I just crawled out of a burning building, sheesh.
