Lily, Gus and myself were all playing in the sandbox. Gus and his 29 second attention span decided it would be more fun to chase birds. Fine! I check with Lily asking if it would be OK if Gus and I ran around for a bit. I told her that if she needed us, just call and we'd come back.
Flash forward about 10 minutes. Gus has now been in at least 5 different yards looking for squirrels, birds, and anything else he could see move. Suddenly there is a loud shriek for help. Instantly I know its Lily.
Immediately I begin running to the south side of the house in order to jump the fence and be by the sandbox. As I round the corner of the house, I find Lily. She is hanging upside down from the fence with her head just millimeters above the ground. She said she had climbed the fence and prepared to jump down. Unbeknown to her, that favorite skirt of her's wasn't going to be able to clear the posts during her jump. It snagged, ripping off a huge section and swinging her directly back into the fence.
I graciously pulled her off the fence and though she was shaking, she was actually unharmed. Upon taking her inside, we convinced her to pose for a few pictures. Carrie couldn't stop laughing and Lily actually got mad!
Thankfully, she was unharmed...the skirt: I'm afraid it needs a very qualified seamstress.
