Joanne, I can totally understand how you ran from you SUV not giving any thought to anything but Scully. Years ago, my dh and I use started a low cost pet vaccine service that would travel and set up at various feed stores and pet stores offering low cost pet vaccines. Most of the places had us set up inside but some had the paperwork set up outside. This particular store had the people w/ their pets lined up outside the store to fill out paperwork and pay. I'll never forget this little dog pulled out of his collar and took off running. We were in a plaza and not far from a 4 lane busy road. The poor owner totally lost it and ran after her dog leaving her baby in the stroller w/ her purse! I immediately grabbed the stroller for her while she ran in tears through the parking lot. To make matters worse, we all witnessed seeing the dog hit and spin through the air as he tried to cross the busy street. The dog did live, but needed immediate attention and I was left w/ this women's baby for quite some time while she tended to her dog and had him taken to an emer. vet. I know so many were saying how could you ever leave your baby? I think there are times that we go w/ our gut feeling and do what has to be done. You were in the survival mode to save Scully just as this lady was to save her dog, only a bit more extreme leaving a baby verses an SUV.

I'm just so glad you're home w/ Scully and he's doing better.

I am so sorry to hear about your terrible experience!!! I can't imagine the fear that ran through your body as you were running up the street after Scully!
I am also sorry that I didn't see this post until today! I hope Scully is feeling much better today, and that you had a good nights rest from this terrible experience. ((((((((((((HUGS)))))))))))))).

Shoe, thank you for your kind words. I had trouble sleeping at first. I kept seeing it all in my head, and even today. Scully, thank God, is doing so much better today. She actually picked up a toy this morning for a bit, and by lunchtime is back to her rip roaring self. She adores the boiled rice and ground beef. She ate it like a little piglet.

Thank you again - to you all - it helped tremendously having this group to rely on.
