when i first got cosmo at around 8-9mths old, my kids and step kids were all out playing with him in the yard.. harmless i thought on my part being a first time mom to a very small furby.. ive had dogs before but they were all poodles. every once in a while i would check on them as i prepared lunch, not long afterwards my hubby came in asking for the furby.. i answered saying they were all outside, apparently they had gotten tired of playing with cosmo and decided to tie his leash to our pourch.. we found him hanging, tongue hanging out, eyes rolled back, and poop dripping from his butt.. i frozed screaming and crying.. my hubby stepped in taking control of the situation. thinking he was dead, i had a one track mind, i just needed him to know i was sorry. i picked him up, rubbing and massaging him like he was still living..(not knowing wut i was doing) i kept doing it.. my hubby and kids were trying to talk to me but they were tuned out completly. they even tried to take cosmo from me, but i wouldnt let him go.. after a few min (30) i was told, i felt cosmo flinch in my arms.. i thought it was me at first so i paid it no attention till he did it again.. then he sucked his tongue in, but his eyes were still glossy.. i yelled for the keys an off we went to the vet, luckily he made a full recovery..now i dont let him out of my sight, unless we r sleeping..lol..or i'm at work.. i will not allow anyone to play with him outside of my view, nor walk him.. i know that is another reason y he is so spoiled, but idk.. yorkies are miracles in my eyes..its my selfish belief that, he knew i loved him, and he wanted a chance to love me back, an he is..YORKIE LOVER FOR LIFE

I'm glad and sorry there is someone out there who has seen their furbaby with their eyes rolled back in their head and their tongue hanging out. It's the most horrifying thing to see. After that all collars were removed and now they wear harnesses when they go out and they never go out alone even in a fenced in back yard. I thiink that was a warning from upstairs for both Cosmo and Zach.
