| Teddy Hair Tangle Scare On the drive to the office park today, Teddy managed to get dangerously tangled in his car seat tether. His rear end hair was tightly wound from one end of the tether to the other. It was so bad, I didn't recognize it as the tether. I thought maybe it was his tail or leg. Although Teddy didn't seem to be in any pain or distress, I was fully expecting to find a major injury on his little behind. After 10 minutes of desperately trying to detangle Teddy, I was ready to flag down an ambulance for scissors. We were in back of a hospital, near the ER entrance. I even contemplated picking up the entire car seat and bringing it into the ER, but I didn't know if I could handle Max at the same time. No ambulances were in sight, so I resorted to using my keys to saw the hair. I was so relieved to find no skin damage or injuries. My crazy boys!

You can tell people he got the poopscicle trim like I gave Princess...shaved down from the tail to the back of the legs! Yes definately a good idea to cover the teather, I keep mine so short on my dogs since Princess tried to sit on the floor and was bungy hanging off the back seat once.

| Poor guy. I'm glad you were able to get him untangled and that he wasn't hurt. I've thought about carrying a pair of scissors in my car should we get in an accident and I need to get them out of their car seat quickly. Am I the only weirdo that pictures us getting in an accident and the car catching on fire? I have had a fire phobia since this summer when my grandparents lost their house and pets in a fire

| I'm just wondering how do you think he managed to get that tangled? Does he move around a lot? Is the tether too long? I am just trying to figure out how to prevent something like that from happening. Gracie's fur is to her feet. |

I posted on another thread a few weeks ago where someone was asking about car seats, that I don't like the Snoozer tether as ZoE's hair gets wrapped around the swivel part of the tether as she turns in the seat. I questioned if anyone else has this issue ...considering how many people seem to rave about these seats. So I'm curious as to what tether gave Teddy the problem. http://www.yorkietalk.com/forums/yor...car-seats.html
