Ugh Barkley fell

[Alli and Barkley]

Down 4 stairs.  I am an idiot and should have gated them off.  They are the stairs that go from our kitchen to a small landing that leads to the kids playroom.  Of course he would one day decide to follow the kids down there- didn't think he would be so soon though :(

 

I was out there helping them with something and heard a YELP/Bang.  Ugh my heart sank.  He wouldn't put pressure on it at all at first so I scooped him up and between my tears I rubbed his front leg.  I pressed on it in a few spots and he was completely calm.  Took him outside and he walked around then started to run- I made him stop and brought him back in.  He is walking on it, but limping slightly- or maybe I am imagining it

 

I seriously thought he broke his leg.  Talked to the vet who said that if he is putting weight down, walking, running its more thank likely just sore- and in a few days he should be back to his old self- Also said that most pups don't attempt stairs till they are at least 10-14 weeks old.  I still feel horrible and I am ultra paranoid that he is damaged for life.  :(

 

 

[Jenny & Henry]

My daughter was running outside and Henry ran right in her legs and she fell and he yelped and wouldn't walk on his one leg.  I was so upset and scared he'd been hurt.  An hour later he was running all over the place as if nothing happened.  So just a little stinger or something but it is scary.  I am sure he'll be just fine.
