Hello everyone - thank you so much for your input and prayers and compassion, I was overwhelmed this morn when seeing all the loving dog owners posting for Chloe.
I spoke to Chloe's mom this morn...and told her about the forum and all your blessings and compassion and she cried (I have known her for 7 yrs and have never seen her shed a tear until this week...and it's been daily)
I will try and find out the dryer info. However, from what I remember Fri (it was all kind of a blur with Mom and the groomer so emotionally upset)...the dryer looked like this AND was attached to a regular small size dog kennel, blowing right in at face/chest level.

I agree something has to be done and also thought about the mfg and contacting my state's atty general, state legislatures, etc. There is no regulation (at least not here in FL that I know of) or oversight. Not that it would have prevented what happened to Chloe....but it's a start. I'm too tired and emotionally involved to do any of that right now....just want to help get Chloe and Mom thru this right now. But will try to get dryer details and maybe we can unite to bring an end to this for many other dogs that will die from these "accidents", negligence.
