Since I've been so sick, I haven't been able to take the dogs out for their daily walk. Little C won't poo inside and today, she actually went to the door and requested to go out again. (I took her to the park across the street for a quick run around this morning.) So, I took her out, and she made her poo and all that. I brought her back in and put her in the sink to wash her feet. I was reaching for the towel when I started up a huge coughing fit and I automatically turned away from her because I try not to cough in my dogs' faces.
Well, I guess that the loud noise scared her or something, because she jumped out of the sink and landed on the tiled bathroom floor!!!!! I didn't see her jump..I turned my head back and she wasn't in the sink and I looked down and there she, like a little splat. I carefully touched her all over before picking her up, but she didn't make a sound. I picked her up and RAN to the vet's office. However, he was busy with a dog that had just gotten hit by a car. There was blood everywhere and the poor dog was in absolute pain--I couldn't very well ask the vet to hurry and look at Little C. So, we waited for an eternity (at least) until he could see her. Once he found out why I brought her in, he got this intensely worried look on his face that really frightened me.
He checked her all over--checked her breathing, her heart rate and examined every inch of her. Luckily, she is FINE! She was still really stressed out and scared and shaky, but other than that, she is FINE! I can't believe I was this lucky--I can't believe that she wasn't hurt at all. That is a LONG drop for such a little dog and considering her history with her knees and all, all I can say is WOW! I've aged about 50 years and have probably set back my health a great deal (still coughing like mad), but, she is fine. *whew*
And I'm never putting her in the sink ever, ever again! Any time she is getting a bath or a foot bath, it will be done directly on the bathroom floor.
