As if from an old Flintstones cartoon, I fell in the kitchen on Saturday morning. I was getting something out of the bottom drawer of the fridge, stood up and hit my head one the shelves on the door. The shelf popped off and crashed to the floor sending salad dressings and mayo and pickles and olives everywhere! I didn't realize that the Caesar dressing bottle had broken, so I try to not step on the Abby trying to eat everything on the floor, I wasn't paying attention, stepped in the dressing and landed firmly on my butt. I hit so hard I couldn't feel my legs. 6 hours in the ER, everything checks out and I'm home in bed.

Sunday morning mom comes over to help me. She had been babysitting her grand nieces (ages 4 & 5) for the weekend and brought the girls with her to my house. Mom is vacuuming the couch when I limp out of my room looking for Abby, can't find her anywhere. I walk in the living room and see the door wide open :eek: We think one of the little girls left it open. OMG where's my dog! I start yelling, everyone is tearing through the house looking for her. We're calling her, I'm crying, my son and now my neighbors are looking all over the neighborhood for her. Can't find the Abby anywhere.

The only thing I can think to do is call the police. I get in the house, as I'm running for the phone I see ↓↓this↓↓

Half the neighborhood is out looking for her and she's sleeping peacefully under the pillows :cursing:

They all tell me it was payback. That she was getting even with me for what I did on Saturday from the hospital. I kept calling the house phone and calling her name into the answering machine :ROFL:

:hmm: or maybe it was the blueberry thing? (video of that to follow lol)

OMG that is hilarious. Well the part about Abby hiding in the couch anyhow. Poor thing, you must have had a heart attack, I know I panic when there is no open door but I cant find one of the "kids". How are you feeling today? That sounds like a terrible fal, have hurt my tail bone but never lost feeling to me legs, that is scary.

I'm fine thanks :) I have a lot of hardware and nerve damage in my back to begin with so any fall can be bad. I entertained myself with the phone calls to Abby. :) I thought it was funny. I guess she didn't :laugh:

I have no idea how she got up under all those pillows without knocking them down either. My mom is positive she wasn't there when she put the pillows on the loveseat to clean the couch.

(sorry for the blurry pictures, my hands were still shaking when I took them)

Phew!!! What a weekend you had!! Sorry to hear about your fall .... and it does sound like something out of a slapstick comedy!!!

I've had the sickening feeling of thinking I've lost one of mine. The most annoying thing is that you are screaming their name out at the top of your voice and they totally ignore us.

If we acted a little calmer and didn't go into full scale panic mode then we would realize that all you have to do is reach for the treats!!! Mine know the opening of the fridge/freezer drawer from the very end of the yard!!
