Are You Trying to Give Us a Heart Attack!!!!

Well my little hubba bubba boy, what in the world is Mommy supposed to with you. You gave her the scare of her life yesterday. Cousins C and B, you, and Mommy were out on a walk yesterday. We walked for at least 20-30 minutes. You did wonderfually. You held Mommy's hand, you listened, you kept up, and then when the four of you went into the pet store, things seemed to start out as usual. Gotta look to see if there are any bunnies and there were lots. Then over to say hi to Sam and Buster the macaws. Next look at the rest of the birds and over into the fish. Mommy has to put her hand on the lid so you don't get into the tank. Brief look at the tortise and lizards, skirting around the chinchilla to see the kitties. Again there were lots. Another hi to Sam and Buster on the other side of their cages. Back up to see the bunnies. You were trying to pull on the poor bunnies ears and Mommy tried to stop you.

Well that is when things changed. You headed around the display with the mice and rats in it. Then turned to head up the other side of the display, or so Mommy thought. Nope. Nothing doing. Instead out the front door you go. It was open, which it usually isn't and when it is you normally pay no attention. Oh if only you had done that, but NOOOOO. You decided today was the day you were going to run out the door, across the few short steps of the sidewalk, and without hesitation dash right into the middle of traffic, coming inches from getting hit by a big truck, and then kept running. Thank goodness the truck didn't hit you, thank goodness you stopped, thank goodness Mommy caught up to you, and thank goodness C was with baby B. Of course, Mommy didn't hesitate she dashed out the door after you into the middle of the street and grabbed you, poor C and B left in the pet store without a second thought about it. When we got back to the pet store to pick up the cousins and go back around the corner to the car and talk to Grandma C, the poor owner of the pet store, D, was just as scared as Mommy was, as well as the rest of the people who saw what happened. Mommy agrees with what D had to say "God knows how you are and was watching over you." There is no doubt in Mommy's mind that this is true. But PLEASE don't test God like that again. Not sure that Mommy or anyone else can handle that.

Thank God that Mommy has such great friends. She has gotten some great suggestions on how to work with you on stopping when told to, and other things like that. And just the cyber hugs, love, and prayers, they mean the world to her too. People who have never met you are doing what they can to help you and Mommy to make sure things like this don't happen again.

Just remember, no matter what you do, Mommy still loves you.
