Well, yesterday, Syd followed me to the laundry room while I was doing some laundry. I shut the door when I left (she was outside it

) and she started following me back to the other room. I heard her stop and start playing with the door stopper (you know, the kind that attaches to the wall and is kind of like a spring). I figure "no big deal" because I can hear her and I know she isn't getting into trouble. Anyway, about a minute later she starts crying. I figure she just realized I wasn't there with her, and I say "I'm in the kitchen, come here." She usually is really great about follwoing my voice and coming. So she comes in, but she's still crying. I look down at her and say "What's wrong, sweetie?" That's when I notice that she's left a trail behind her -- of blood! Poor kiddo got her finger caught in the spring and ripped a piece of skin off

Needless to say, it took a long time to get her calmed down, and even longer to get a bandage to stay on and the bleeding to stop. Got the gates ready now so at least she is confined with me. I felt just awful though
