Kai and Giraffe

Kai and his giraffe are doing fine.  Me, I'm kinda traumatized.

The other day I took Kai to Kokohead District Park.  Just to walk around in a different setting.  We did it once before, and he enjoyed it.

I pulled into the parking lot.  It was pretty quiet.  Had choke empty stalls.  Just as I was trying to decide on which stall to park in, I heard something (I can't remember the sound exactly).  I looked outside of my window and Kai was there lying on the ground!  He had fallen out the window!

I put my car in Park and ran out to him.  He seemed scared and didn't run away.  I grabbed his leash, opened the back door and led him back in.  I checked the seatbelt tether that should've held him securely in his seat.  It was broken.  I inspected Kai for any injuries and kept asking him if he was okay. 

After seeing that Kai looked fine, I finally pulled into a stall and sat there for a bit trying to collect myself.  Kai pawed and scratched at his door.  He wanted out. 

We went for our walk, but I was pretty shaken.  I couldn't understand what had happened.  There was no way that he could've fit through the half-opened window.  Apparently, I was wrong because he did fit through. 

On the ride home with his window fully closed, I felt grateful that it didn't happen while we were on the road.  I realized that me and Kai were very lucky and that I was taught this lesson in maybe the safest possible way.  Thank God.
