I think I just had a heart attack
Oh my God! I'm still shaking.
Damn dog! Stevie just about gave me a heart attack. I had just gotten off the phone with Barb because we were making plans to go to the mall later so I got up & took the dogs out.
Somehow Stevie & Katie got their leashes all tangled. So once they were done doing their business & we were up on the porch I bent over to untangle them. I had to let go of Stevie's leash just long enough to untangle it & he took off like a bat outta hell at these kids walking across the street. The next thing I know he's running across the yard. So I fly off the porch after him in my robe & pajamas. That must've been one hell of a sight.
These poor kids froze in their tracks. I felt so bad that Stevie was barking his fool head off at them.
Next thing I know his stupid ass is in the road. And of course with my luck there was a car coming. He barely missed getting hit by a Cadillac. I think it was about 10 feet or so. I'm screaming at the top of my lungs at him practically in tears.
I told the kids that he just barks & that he doesn't bite while I'm apologizing profusely. I snatched him up by his collar & took him straight into the house. My heart is still pounding. Talk about something to wake you up! I'm so freaked out right now. I need to calm down before I hop in the shower & get ready to head over to Barb's.
All weekend the dogs have been so good for me until this morning with this incident. Last night while watching the race from Richmond we were all snuggled up on the couch. Katie laying down next to me with her head resting on my leg & Stevie laying on my lap (both sound asleep til I'd start screaming at the TV).
