My near-death experience while walking my dog!

Good gracious! Yup, isn't it annoying that its only in hindsight you realize letting go of the leash would be okay just this once?

Whew! Thank goodness you - and Pru - are okay!

[Freedom]

Geepers! Glad you are OK. You know you wouldn't let go of the leash unless you were sure no cars were coming!

Prue, you need to make this up to your HuMom -- kisses and cuddles, get going! LOL

You are right Freedom. I held on tightly because there are cars that fly by the house. I wasn't thinking about anything in particular when holding on for dear life. It was just my usual response to her pulling when she sees/hears something that appeals to her. Sometimes I think my arm will be pulled from it's socket. She doesn't pull ordinarily, just when she wants to GET something!

I still can't forget how worried my neighbor was. He must have felt a tad responsible, as he does know how much Prue thinks he might have a treat for her. If he looks like he has nothing, she will bark at him. BUT if he has something in his hands, i.e. bags that MIGHT contain food, then he is her BEST friend. He probably shouldn't have approached when he saw I was hunched over doing weeding. I had my back away from him and the street, as I don't think the LOOK of an old broad, leaning over, is much to look at! I think I was concentrating on not exposing my butt to the public, and not thinking about Prue pulling me into the street!

It's over, but it will take me a couple of days to recover. I could have broken an arm, wrist etc. etc. which I HAVE done before! I was lucky, for sure.

Prue!!! You just can't resist the smell of fast food! I can't blame you! When I smell fries I turn into a beast! LOL Be careful and don't give your human a scare like that. Glad everyone is ok.
