Recliner warning After a long day out in the heat I was pooped when I got home. Had supper and sat down to rest with Wolfie for a nice evening in front of the tv. Our loveseat has a recliner on each end. I was sitting with my feet up and slightly back when Wolfie jumped down. He ran around behind the chair and into the back thru the lil gap. Something he has NEVER done. I sat up but didn't put the foot rest down when he screamed. My heart was in my throat when I jumped up and looked under. His lil head was stuck in a tiny area and if I had closed the foot rest...well we know what would have happened. I screamed for my husband and he ran in and grabbed the flashlight. To make a long story short... I had to cover his head and neck with Dawn, say a prayer and had to lift his body put his head down & force his neck thru a small one inch gap. I was afraid I would kill him but had to do something. After 15 minutes stuck in the chair as soon as I got him free he started running around like a wild child, as if nothing happened. He was never without oxygen, just stuck. I am so very thankful he is fine. I cried like a baby as I washed out all of the Dawn.
Please do not have your recliners opened out when your lil ones are out running around. In just a split second I thought his life was over and ours changed forever.
The picture is from my phone, took it not 5 minutes before he jumped down.
