Angel and Honey were being their nutty little selves and while I was trying to get dressed to go out my girlfriend (who is somewhat fearful of all dogs) was waiting on me.
Angel and Honey, like the attention blackholes they are were trying to suck her into paying attention to them and only them when it happened.
I was pulling my shirt over my head when from behind me I heard a yelp.
IMPORTANT NOTE: My dogs have yelped only twice their entire lives. That's one yelp per dog for over 4 years now.
I immediately turned around to see, ready for this?
A coat hanger sticking in Angels eye!
I freaked out. I mean lost it.
As I screamed "oh god! Oh god!" and leaped what felt like 10 feet to remove the hanger from her eye she backed up and kind of shook her head and the coat hanger (with the shirt that was on it) fell to the floor.
She then turned and ran into the TV room with me right on her tail.
First things first:
1. The hanger did not stick her in the eye ball.
2. She was more frightened by my reaction than hurt from the hanger.
3. There is no sign of eye damage.
4. My heart didn't stop beating 7,000 miles an hour until the next day.
Lesson:
The reason she got the hanger in her eye was someone had left a shirt on a stool with the coat hanger in it.
This freak accident is just a reminder that while you may think it's okay, crazy things happen and Angel is very lucky to have her eye intact and undamaged.
So next time you put something that is on your dogs level, think about it for a second before you do.
While I have no doubt this was a one in ten million accident it happened. If you were to have told me it could have I would have probably said you were silly.
It could have been so much work but thankfully my girl came away uninjured. :o)
One more reason I love the Pit Bull so much. They rock!
Wishing you and yours a beautiful safe spring...
Best Regards,
Jason, Angel and Honey

I ask my husband constantly not to leave things on the coffee table where our Iggi's bionic tail can knock it across the room. I read this blog out loud to him and we both had the same reaction--"Oh My God!" I think he got the point!4/18/2005 09:42:29 AM|||Stacy the Peanut Queen|||My Pit has a bionic tail too!!!
