Oh No!
Had the scare of my life today!
Stormy has been doing great going up and down all the steps around our house. Sometimes he has to take his time, but for the most part he’s doing awesome.
He was in his dog house earlier (which we took the roof off of so he could turn more easily) and instead of going out the door, he hopped right over the side, it was nice to see him getting more confident.
The scare came about an hour ago when I took him out front for the thousandth time tonight. He went down the steps just fine, we said goodbye to Sam as he went off to work and had a little walk. On the way back up the steps, Stormy got a little overconfident and fell OFF the steps and landed between the steps and a plant pot.
I freaked out and tried to grab him, but the determined dog decided to jump up quickly and try to JUMP from the ground to the second step.
No dice.
He fell between the step and pot again, with his back leg stuck up on a step. I was FREAKING out.
Again he got himself back up, stumbled for a second so I picked him up and carried him in, terrified he had damaged another leg. I put him down on the carpet and… he was fine. He galloped off after shaking himself and even though he had JUST been outside, demanded to go back out.
What a resilient little thing he is 🙂

Stormy, you freak us out with your courage! We know you have it in you and these stories confirm your energy and will. In the meantime, try to reassure your people you’re doing just fine.
