I have always fancied myself as a pretty knowledgable dog and puppy owner. Just like human babies, I puppy proof my house. Well, my 3 month old baby chewed throw a power cord and electrocuted herself last weekend. In all my years of having dogs I have never even come close to having this happen and it was so incredibly traumatizing to us all. She was doing very well at house training, and I was in the process of giving her a little more freedom to roam. When I thought she had found a nice cozy place to sleep since it was nap time, I never even realized she had honed in on a power cord. While I feel totally responsible and guilty, I am not here for sympathy, but rather to remind you of some dangers you may not normally think about. I looked long and hard for her....she was perfect.
