So today I went to lunch with a friend. I put Lucy in our laundry room and left. 2 hours later returned and Lucy was stuck in a cord behind the dryer, it was wrapped around her belly pretty darn tight! She had pooped all over herself and was bleeding. I freaked out!! I didnt know what to do, finally I calmed down enough to grab her neck and start twisting her to get her untangled. I knew something was wrong, she wasn't walking at all. I got Brigham in the car again and sped towards the vet's office. What is normally a 20 minute drive I turned it into a 5 minute drive! They took her back and the dr. said she had feeling in her legs and that her back wasnt broken, they needed to keep her there for a few hours to massage her legs and make sure she starts walking again.
All I could think about (and still think about) is how long she was there, and if I wouldnt have chatted for so long with my friend would it have been better? I feel so bad, she looked at me and was so scared and in so much pain, I felt soooo bad!
The dr called and gave me good news, she was walking on her own, but had a little bit of bloody discharge. They gave her a few medications and sent her home. She definitely isn't her normal self. Hopefully she gets back to normal, and starts driving me nuts again with her energy :)

OH MY SCARINESS! My parents dog was driving them crazy as well...but one day she ran away and they had lost her....my dad was so so so sad, LUCKILY the pup was at the pound and everything was just grand but sometimes it takes things like this to realize all the things that drive you nuts about the hairy beast makes it all worth it because they are really apart of your family. I hope everything goes okay from now on....you don't want to loose something so stinkin cute!
How is she doing now? I hope she is ok, it's not your fault though, you didn't know she would do that! It's good you took her to the vet though, she will be fine :)
