Just to add to the list of puppy proofing items:
I have laundry baskets that are the mesh pop up kind with kind of loose nylon handles. Well my previous dog used to love to sleep in those. One day I came home from work and he didn't greet me at the door as usual. I found him in my bedroom with his head through the handle of the basket and all twisted around his neck. He was alright but if he had turned his head around one more time he would have been dead. I had to cut the handle to get him loose. He was not a puppy when this happened either.
So many things we never think of as being harmful are actually threats to our little one's lives. Those plastic bags from the market are accidents waiting to happen. I now fold up all my laundry baskets and put them totally out of the area where anyone can get near them. |
