Oopsy Daisy

This morning Nolan was eating his cereal at the table. I was trying to get his lunch packed, because on Tuesdays we go to Nursery School at the JCC. I wasn't far away, maybe 10 ft and had an eye on him, but things happen SO fast. Evidently, Nolan put his feet up on the table and pushed off! Over he went. Now, his booster chair is strapped to the dining chair and he is strapped in the booster. So, Nolan went full force with the chair. Unfortunately, Sophie was napping on the rug, right behind him and in front of the back door. Good for Nolan, but bad for her. Her ribs took the full impact of the fall. The back of the chair hit her and she stood and knocked Nolan onto his side. He banged his head on the floor, but the rug was there and Sophie really cushioned the impact for him. She never flinched, never whined, yelled or cried. Even now, she seems fine. Nolan was SCARED out of his wits. Immediately reached for the straps to let himself out of the chair, but felt so helpless because he couldn't move. I got him out immediately and knowing he wasn't hurt since I saw the impact, just cuddled him and told him it's alright. You want to know the first thing he said? Not I'm hurt, not I need a kiss. He screams 'I hurt Sophie! I hurt Sophie!' What a love. He was hysterical for 2 or 3 minutes and then he was fine. Sophie's fine, we gave her hugs too. She was sweet and put her paw on Nolan's arm as if to say 'Everything is fine.' What a love.

Poor Nolan and poor Sophie. She is the BEST DOG EVER! Lots of hugs to them both from Grandma Toni.
