I felt like such a bad mom after this happened... a few months ago some friends came over to my house and these guys were all eating corndogs. They had never seen Layla before and they thought it was hilarious that she was jumping at them and their food. They were all laughing and I was doing other things and not really paying attention until one guy was like "Oops she got it!" I looked back and saw Layla looking at me with her tail wagging and the end of a chunk of wrapped hot dog in her mouth. I tried to grab her to take it out of her mouth but she wanted it bad so she ran. When I caught her, she swallowed it... WHOLE. She started wheezing and trembling and trying to bring it back up. I took her to her pee pad to try to get her to throw up on it. One of the guys came over with me and everyone was silent and we were rubbing her back and her stomach and tears started rolling down my face... it was about a minute that seemed like 10, and I was about to call an emergency vet when it finally came... about an inch and a half of hot dog covered in white goo. The bun part of it stayed down I guess. It was the scariest thing ever for me, but Layla was running around and happy as soon as it was over!
