Harlea Scare this Morning

hi, im glad Harlea is okay. im sure she'll be fine. when I first brought my two babies home at 8 weeks old, the first night i had them out in front of the house, and all my neighbours came over to see the new pups. when we were going inside, i had Bulldozer in my arms, and i was trying to get Blossom to follow me, so i could bring them back inside. i bent over and Dozer got so excited, he wanted to get down and play with his sister, and he squirmed out of my arms. i have never in my life heard such screams from a dog before, it was ear piercing, and he just wailed for a good 10 minutes, i was crying, my neighbour came running across the complex, and grabbed him from me, she was crying too, and she began massaging his thigh. Thank goodness I was bent over, so it was closer to the ground, plus it was on the front lawn, so the grass was softer than pavement. we thought he had landed on his hip area, but after taking him to the vet, and two xrays, we realized it was his foot/paw, nothing was broken thank goodness, it was a soft tissue/ bruise injury. he got some pain meeds, and an anti inflammatory, and we had to keep him quiet for 5 days. He favored that foot, and wouldnt walk on it for a couple of days, then he started to limp on it, and after 5 days he was walking fine again. i felt so bad, and cried so much that I had hurt my baby. it happens, and its an accident, but we still feel bad when it does happen. dont feel so bad, she will be fine.

@Vikinggirl thank you for sharing your experience. it was terrifying for sure with my wife and daughter in tears and me asking what had happened to seeing Harlea just sitting there not wanting to move. She is a tough cookie and with the updates I have been getting throughout the day she is back to her normal self like nothing ever happened.
