PLEASE watch your babies with them!!!

Several years ago I gave Buddy a chew stick. He was so happy, chewing away. After awhile I seen him trying to dig in his mouth. He then started coughing and choking!

I tried to stick my fingers down his tiny throat but I couldn't retrieve it. I grabbed him and my car keys. Ran out to the car forgetting money and locking the front door. Got down to the stop light, a off duty k-9 cop was in front of me. Crying. Got out of the car, screaming at the cop that my Buddy is choking.

The cop told me that there was a vet just down the street. Told him that was where I was going! That HE WAS IN THE WAY!!

The cop turned his lights on, stopped all traffic and let me go. Got to the vet. I didn't even have my car in park, my door opened and the same cop had my dog in his arms!!

He ran him in to the vet and by the time I reached the door, sobbing. The vet had him on the table with a hemostat in his hand.

The vet pulled out a two inch chew stick that was stuck sideways in Buddy's throat!

I was still crying thanking the cop, the vet, the person who's dog was on the table and everyone else.

Left came home an hour went by. I forgot to pay them. Called and they said no charge.

I had a happy ending that day, but PLEASE DO NOT leave your babies alone with chew sticks!!
