That was the last time I had anything but a breakaway cat collar for tag and bell. Have since removed the bells too, as one got his hind toenail caught in the cut on the top of the bell and we had to go to the vet and get the metal bell cut off his toe with orthopedic instruments!!! These dogs will KILL you, with all the trouble they can get into and how fast it happens! I am so happy you were there with your baby and could rescue him from the "Yorkie Eating Carrier", as it chased him across the room!!!! |
Yikes! Tibbe's carrier has a series of little oval slits up near its top but I checked and his I. D. tag is smaller than each of them and could totally get caught sideways in one of them! Unlikely, but it could happen as he always wears his tags and he always travels in his carrier in the car. Thanks for sharing this story.
