I was going to blog this but thought I would post a warning about it here instead ,
the weather is now warming up and atough we all know or should know not to leave our fur baby's in hot cars ,
well something else that i had not really though of before came to my attention yesterday ,
my Husky Okami somehow managed to jump / fall out of the top floor window !
it is a double glazed skyline window on a slanted roof so we are really not sure how he got it totally open but the first that any of us knew about it my other dog was hysterically barking and my 10 year old (drama queen) went to stop him she got into the room and screamed at me that Okami was gone and kaier was barking at the window and she started shouting that he had fallen out , knowing she is a DQ and dose often get the wrong end of things i called back that he was ok and sleeping down stairs (he was 10 minutes before ) so i went to find him .....
he was not there
i saw him through our opaque glass front door
i ran out to get him as i did that i got on the floor to check him out he layed on my lap and was wipering and growling , shaking and heavy breathing i was sure he was dying from internal bleeding ,
we raced round to the vets he got out of the car and hoped in to the vets on his own (amazing that he walked in there ) , they xrayed him from just about every angle ,
amazingly he has no brakes , no fractures , no organ damage , no blood (but a spot on his lip ) he dose have a rather pulled / sprained leg witch they have splinted and wrapped to keep still , he probably landed on it ,
but other than that and being very clingy to me now , he is doing so well ,
I really did think i was going to loose him ,
the vet is even shocked that it wasn't alot worse
please don't read this and think my dog / cat / bunny etc would not do that , Okami is a very calm dog , very well behaved and its totaly out of carrictor for him to do this ,
we really can not always see what our pets are thinking .
I'm not an irresponsible dog owner , my house is very much child and dog proof it was maybe a freak accident but it could happen to anyone !
please remember you pets and there safety around windows this summer .
