HopeForHounds Posted June 27, 2008 Share Posted June 27, 2008 (edited) I came downstairs at 6:15 this morning to the smell of poop. No biggie, if Foxy has to go and we haven't heard her she will just go on the comforter I leave at the back door for that purpose. I look and no comforter (Daddy took it to wash and forgot to replace it) I look at the dog beds, because that is her second choice. Not there either. I looked for Foxy and no Foxy WTH!!!! She was laying near the dog beds almost behind the TV. I don't know if after she went she stepped in it and slipped on the hardwood, or if she caught a foot on Peanut's feeding stand or a dog bed??? Foxy was just laying there with her tongue hanging out panting. Seeing her like that just about broke my heart. I helped her up and she got her balance on the dog bed. I have to laugh now at the stink eye I got at that point. I am betting she thinks it is all my fault. She waddled over to the water bowl and had a long drink. At that point I got DH up and he helped me get her and the floor cleaned up and the dog beds in the wash. I was able to let work know I would likely be late and spent some time making sure she was okay. Her breathing was a bit rough so I gave her some pred for her LP just in case. She got herself up on the couch (still looking P O'd with me ) and was quite calm when I left for work. I have no idea how long she was laying like that. I'm praying she slipped and not that her back end gave out. I'm moving a few things around just in case and you can be sure that the comforter will be at the door from now on.

NevadasMom Posted June 27, 2008 Share Posted June 27, 2008 I had to start blocking off small corners/spaces with pillows so that Nevada didn't get lost and stuck in them. I also put down many, many throw rugs to cover the tile floors. She still would find spots to fall on......poor old gal. My advice is to get down on the floor & look at her world from that vantage point. You'd be amazed at the places you never thought to protect her from. Give her hugs from me.........

Guest wmlcml6 Posted June 27, 2008 Share Posted June 27, 2008 How scary for both Foxy and you. Is it an option for you to start sleeping downstairs? or maybe get a nursery monitor so you can hear her better during the night. That would give you some peace of mind, maybe. I'm glad she's okay. Phew! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
