Kody almost got hit by a bus today.
I take him to the baseball park every once in a while to throw the ball for him. I don't do it much anymore because he's 7 and he's big.
I've been doing this for 5 years now.
Today, he decided something was worth investigating across the street that he had to check out at full speed.
I usually goof around while I wait for Kody to get the ball and when I was done goofing, I looked at him just in time to see him running across the street while a bus is coming towards him at about 35mph.
I could only scream the only deep guttural scream I own and try to keep myself from passing out. I couldn't tell where Kody was in relation to the bus but neither one met. As he ran back, a car was coming from the other direction...Utter chaos...him running in the street, me running in the street screaming like a white trash mother who's lost control of her kids....
I tried so hard not to beat him; but, i really wanted to. Instead, I grabbed him by the scruff of his big-ass neck and screamed at him like he understood what I was saying.
For his punishment, his park visit was cut short and he had to stay in the garage for 15 minutes while I calmed down.
Fear of loss is why I hate being in love....

*ucker is right. I bet that scared the living crap out of you. I'm so relieved he wasn't hit.
Too bad he just doesn't get how much you truly love him.
I am so glad for you and him that he is okay. He kinda looks guilty in that pic.

TK...been thinking about what you said. I don't know you except through cyberspace but anyone who is kind enough to bury a squirrel that is run over in front of their house or set a ladybug free that is in a package of greens has a kind and gentle heart.
Hope that the fear of loss doesn't keep you from loving because I think you are a great person (funny as hell, too)!
Robin...you are so sweet. that almost made me cry. How kind of you to paint me in that light...i'm so busy being mean to me that sometimes i forget stuff ilke that....if i could hug you, i'd squeeze the air right out of your lungs. :)
I felt the same way when Jerry Lee was hit by the car. I immediately ran to comfort him but was quickly overcome by the urge to kick his ass for putting his life in danger and potentially breaking my heart.
I wouldn't have it any other way.
I HEAR YA!!
I UNDERSTAND EXCATLY WHAT YOUR SAYING! DAMN DOGS!@!!
DONNA
Awww, Kody doesn't know. He doesn't understand that buses and cars will seriously hurt him.
But...I can totally relate. I had Simon out for a walk one day, Doh dee doh, toddling along, having a great walk and a motorcycle whizzed by. For whatever reason, Simon lunged towards it and almost ended up in traffic on a busy street. I yelled at him, and started shaking & crying. He looked very confused. I don't know what I'm going to do when his time comes. GAWD!! I'll jump into traffic.
Close call! Whew.
Thanks for visiting my blog. Sophie says howdy to Kody, who looks very cute.
OMG! dumb ass dog!!!! don't you hate it when they start thinking for themselves like that....running blindly into danger, without a care in the world....
I'm sure he felt bad tho, right? ;)
hudson got out about a month ago and i FREAKED. someone called us almost immediately (my number is on his tag - which he just LOST in the woods a few days ago!) and said they had him down the street. oooohhhh i wanted to just yell at him! but he didn't get it. he was just having as much fun as possible. sniffing around the neighborhood.
