Hi Everybody,
I just had the worst scare of my life.
Buddy has been doing so well lately that I
decided to leave him un-hooked from his
thether line in the evenings when I am home & not busy going room to room(cleaning,etc.)
Well tonight after supper, Bud grabbed his
tennis ball off a low shelf & took off running thru the house with it.
One of bud's favorite games before his
accident was to take the tennis ball,run into
the spare bedroom where I keep the sweeper &
drop in in front of the sweeper and then
bark loudly at the sweeper(I swear he thinks
it's a living thing) dareing it to take the
ball away from him..In the game, that's when
I would call him back to me ,praise the heck
out of him & give him a dog bisquet..
I quickly(trying to act very calm) when to
the bedroom, took hold of his collar & walked him back into the dining room & gave
him his treat ,then re-hooked him to the thether line..Since today is the 3rd day
of letting him walk around a little & he had
been fine, I thought it was O.K. Bud has not even picked up a toy off the floor to play
for months now, this was totally unexpected.. Well I think I've calmed down
now so I think I'll just watch him sit &
rest for the rest of the evening...
