Why did we have to drop everything and run to the vet???

Allie fell off our bed and broke her leg:( The only one around to see this...Isabella. She assures me she 'tried' to stop her from falling but she was 'too late'. It was bound to happen....the dog is happiest when she is flying through the air. I feel horrible for her...her cast is so huge she falls backwards. She is still doped up from the sleepy medicine and can't even go to the bathroom on her own-hence the large wet spot on Todd's leg. I think Elisabeth felt what it was like to be a mom today...she was so upset at the vets:( We go back in 2 weeks to see how it is healing...we may have to go back sooner if this cast doesn't work.
