Yes, it is Nancy.
Lou, I am so sorry you went through this BUT so happy your DH knew what to do.

Lou · 04-02-2010, 09:57 AM

Thanks Nancy! I pull it out whenver I see the collar question. I don't want ANYONE to go through what I did. It is awfully hard to drive 15 minutes to the vet crying, praying and trying not to speed because your first little love has been declared dead! I bet I parayed "God please don't let it be true! a million times!" Sigh

Was there no permanent damage to her trachea? I hope not.

Do you remember, too, when Brook's little puppy, Mocha, got caught on his x-pen with his collar and she found him hanged? I don't think I'll ever forget that for the rest of my life!

I hadn't seen it either - what quick thinking and a good ending - it easily could have been a big tragedy.....I bet that day lives in your head forever

I never came close to losing either of mine but remember Chanel jumping off a table and me thinking she broke all 4 legs...my husband had forgot to push his chair in and she used it to climb .....saw me and took a flying leap right on the tile floor - all 4 legs spread eagled and she smacked her poor little nose straight on the tile -

It scared the heck out of me to the point of shaking and crying - which to this day I can still hear in my head and my husband was very tough on himself - accidents happen but it's learning from them that counts

That's the one I just posted about - I couldn't remember names or if it was an X pen or playpen.....you have a good memory...I thought it was a harness she had on Mocha

It could have been a harness. I'll never forget it V, because I was so traumatized by it, too. I felt so bad for her. Can you imagine them walking in and finding her?

OMGosh! What a frightful call for you to get at work! Hugs to you! I'm so glad she is doing okay now and that Skeeter is also! What a scare! I don't put collars on my dogs because I've read so many stories such as yours. I'm so glad your babies are okay!

Thanks for reactivating this thread I hadn't seen before. It's a very good safety reminder for many of us.

So glad it didn't have a worse outcome!

Lou, my gosh

! I don't know how I missed this thread in December - I am so sorry you and the babies and your husband went through this. Such quick thinking on your husband's part, and your part though - you both saved Adie's life. Big hugs, Lou. Again, so sorry I didn't see this earlier, my friend.

roseslevi · 04-02-2010, 03:02 PM

Lou,

Thanks for sharing your story. I always leave Levi's collar on him when I go to work. Thinking, if my son comes home before me....he has his tags on if he "slipped" out the door. But, after reading this I will take it off before I leave. He is microchipped anyways...and I harness him for walks. I would never of thought it would be dangerous...Thank you..and sorry you had to go through this..Rose and Levi

Timba212 · 04-02-2010, 04:03 PM

That is exactly what I thought when I saw Lou and the post until I looked even closer at the date and it was 2008.

Wow you had to have been just sick when you got the call! I'm so glad that everything turned out fine and your husband remembered his CPR!

Look forward to seeing you in a couple of weeks.

StacyDufner · 04-02-2010, 04:54 PM

Oh my what a horrible experience for all of you. Thank goodness your husband was able to save your baby. God was looking out for you all today.
