| I could have lost Gizzie, watch out for this I have this radio that i listen to sometimes in my living room, and you have to flip the switch on the wall for it to have power to that outlet so its normally always on, well i went to listen to turn it on on the actual radio itself(thinking the switch was on) and it wouldnt come on so i was like thats weird so i noticed the switch on the wall was flipped off so i flipped it on and saw a huge spark and crackling niose so i turned it back off and then realised she had chewed through the cord Had the switch on the wall been on like it normally does she would have been electrocuted, PLEASE watch out for electrical cords.......... I know it seems like common sense I always keep them off the floor and had no idea she would ever crawl under the table and behind the radio to chew on this.... Thank Goodness that switch was turned off, it normally isnt

| I had the same thing happen to a puppy I had a long time ago, she chewed a lamp cord, and we were surprised it didn't kill her..this is why I say to parents of new yorkies, I wouldn't leave them in a kitchen without being in an xpen while you're at work..there are refrigerator wires, and other things that can hurt or even kill your little ones |

Years and years ago we had a poodle chew threw a cord. She did live, but had terrible burns and developed epilepsy from it. So yes, PLEASE BE CAREFUL!! Thanks for the reminder and warning.
