My Fran hung herself by accident!!
« on: September 09, 2012, 12:00 »
Wanted to share this one as so lucky it has a happy ending..... Had to have one of my 6 girls put to sleep at the beginning of the week so have felt a bit sluffed all week...anyway, my 5 girls had been out in the garden all day yesterday...I leave them to it, and just pop out, in and amongst to check they're behaving....  Around tea time I heard my Fran, who is the most vocal, making a bit of noise and then all went quiet....looked from the kitchen door to see her hanging, eyes shut and her head wedged in between a "V" shaped joint in one of the bushes.  She'd jumped up to try and grab one of the few green leaves that remain, caught her head, and her feet were unable to touch the ground.....  Dashed out and had to pick her up, at which point she was floppy and think she had passed out....at the time I thought I'd lost her, and after a few seconds, whilst still in my arms, she opened her eyes, looked horrified that she was being cuddled by her Mum, shrieked for me to get the heck off her, and off she toddled with the others......Phew!!!!!  So glad I checked what the noise was about...They do put you through it!!!!
