I actually was more scared about sticking my finger in her mouth because I was afraid I would do more harm then good but I couldn't let her choke without me trying to do something. So after that little scare, I did a little researc and bookmarked an article called "What to do when your Dog is Choking" as well as other medical emergency tips for pets.

that had to have been really scary. I know Maggie has swallowed her bully and gotten it caught. She let out the loudest whimper-cry that you could imagine. Fortunately it expelled. So glad Brandi is okay.

I had something like that happen with Thor, though not as serious. He decided to jump out of my arms while I was carrying him, and at the same time, I tried to adjust his position. I dropped him headfirst onto this super-hard outdoors tile, like harder than cement. I had this split-second vision of him cracking his little back on that ground. But he actually did a full 180 degree turn in the air, nose over tail, and landed on his feet completely unharmed. It would have been amazing if I hadn't felt like vomiting.

Whew! that was close! So glad nothing bad happened. It's just amazing how resilient these guys rae.

You and me both! This was about the most horrible thing that I could even imagine. Hopefully, he and I both learned from this and will not go thru something close to this ever again!
