Although Teddy didn't seem to be in any pain or distress, I was fully expecting to find a major injury on his little behind.
After 10 minutes of desperately trying to detangle Teddy, I was ready to flag down an ambulance for scissors. We were in back of a hospital, near the ER entrance. I even contemplated picking up the entire car seat and bringing it into the ER, but I didn't know if I could handle Max at the same time.
No ambulances were in sight, so I resorted to using my keys to saw the hair.
I was so relieved to find no skin damage or injuries. My crazy boys! |
How totally scary!!! Another reason I keep Tibbe's hair short. My first Yorkie, Scotty, had such a caught-hair incident, fought and struggled while I was trying to help him- he just panicked - and after that, he got a haircut. Never again! His looks were secondary after that. And it was sad - though he was tiny, he had long, lovely, silky "robes" as my son called his coat.
