The Worst Afternoon Of My Life…
« on: April 23, 2005, 03:36:13 PM »
My poor baby Simon (I say that he is 5)
Managed to open our front gate, and got out onto the main road next to our house :o
Becki ran in saying Simon has got out – HELP!!! I have never felt so sick :( !!!
He was playing with his sister Ella on the patio...thank God Ella stayed by the gate and didn’t run out!
Becki ran down the road looking for him and I put Ella in her bed, grabbed some treats, a lead n a mobile. A lady had stopped in her car n  asked her if she was missing a dog and told her Simon had ran down the road, I didn’t know this at the time.
I ran down the road (couldn’t see Becki at this point) and saw a traffic jam…I just kept thinking I can’t believe he has opened that gate – the posty has a job opening it in the morning and I have no idea how he managed to cross the road…as it is very busy and they way some of the looneys drive round this bend :angry: !!
Then I saw Becki, with Simon – kissing a lady to death (who thank God) had got out of her car and kept a hold of him.
I shouted of him and he came running and gave me a big sloppy kiss. It was the worst feeling ever! I picked him up and cuddled him all the way home.
We are soooo lucky that Simon is back home safe n sound!!
Sorry to ramble…I’m still shaking now :unsure: !

Hi Fee,
I’m glad everything turned out ok with hettie too :) ! Will be thinking of you in the next couple of days – really do hope she is ok and doesn’t get any worse.
I suppose it’s one of those things, you never really know how it feels until it happens to u :unsure: - wudn't wish it on any1.
I don’t really think Simon understands what has gone on :rolleyes: , he had a very confused look on his face when I carried him home. He clearly isn’t aware of how lucky he has been, to come home without a mark – that road really is lethal, the police still haven’t take down the witness appeal signs from a serious car crash last week :( . My heart really was in my mouth, if someone was to ask me who would stay or run out of the pair I would go for Ella :rolleyes: , cos she is so forward and outgoing, whereas Simon is very laid back and this was totally out of character for him  :huh: – obviously too clever for his own good :lol: !  
I’m just so glad Becki was with me, and that the lady caught him when she did :) ; she told Becki afterwards that she had to stop because he was drifting towards the road.
Just glad to have him home :wub:, he means sooo much to me and he knows it :lol: !
