| Household dangers to Yorkies Just wanted to remind yorkie newbies and seasoned owners alike to keep electrical cords out of reach, especially if a puppy is in the home. I have a buyer who basically found her puppy with voltage still running through his body on Thursday afternoon from a lamp cord he had chewed into. Please remember, puppies must be supervised or confined to an exercise pen for their own safety. The puppy is fine due to a quick thinking (CPR) and emergency care although he will have some lifelong gum deformities and hair loss. |

| That's so true. It was the first thing Maxwell did when we brought him home, but we caught it before it was down to the wire. Very, very scary. |

| Aww, poor pup! That was my biggest fear when I first got Callie, that she would bite into one of the millions of cords we have in our house. We wire tied and bought wire covers for places with cords I thought she would be able to sneak behind. I'm glad the pup was able to be resuscitated!! How scary!!!

| Thank you for this reminder! I always supervise Bear when he is running around our house ... I know how easily he could get into something & really hurt himself that way. Amy

Senior Yorkie Talker | Oh My...Gosh...this just hurts my heart. Well, Kirista...you know how anal I am about our little one and she isn't even here. I analyze and try to plan the best I can. Maybe I even over plan...but things like this scare me. I would be a wreck. I hope you are ok and so is the owner. I know the little one is going to surpass everyone's thoughts on his status...I just know it!

| That is very heartbreaking. It is my worst fear though. My Suzi chewed the cord of my laptop recently.... She was fine though, cause the battery was fully charged, i always turn off my desk top completly. She is tries to, when I am on the computor... AND I hide the other cords away from her..... Puppies are very much like human babies, wanting to have everything in their mouths! |
