| I almost killed my own baby tonight I am so upset right now. I ordered samples of Lifes abundance the other day, and it came today. I gave Sawyer some of it, and he loved it, so I was really pleased. They also sent me a dog treat shaped like a heart. Sawyer wanted it so badly, and I knew it was made of really good ingredients. I tried to break it up, but it was so hard, I couldn't break it at all. Sawyer kept barking for it, so I gave it to him. My husband and I have watched him through it all over the place tonight like it was a good smelling, but too hard to chew toy. I was just writing on the computer, and Sawyer began to choke. Cliff and I both ran to him, and he had gotten a piece of that darn cookie off and it was choking him. Cliff grabbed him up and hit him on the back, but nothing came up. He seemed to be able to breath, but he kept trying to get it up. We gave him a piece of bread with peanut butter, and it took the cookie down with it. I am so sorry, where was my mind!! That treat was so big, and so hard I never gave him choking on it a thought. That is a mistake I will never make again. Please be careful with treats that are too big for our babies, even a small piece of something so hard can choke them

Donating YT 30K Club Member | Glad it turned out ok. I had a scare the other day with Cali. I gave them carrots for the 2nd time and she started choking on a piece. I freaked and didn't know what to do but she finally coughed it up.

Donating YT 2000 Club Member | Another thought: we took a pet first aid course from the Red Cross. It was very well done and thought provoking in safety proofing from a puppy's viewpoint. |

| That's scarry! I'm glad he is OK now. You need to give him Yorkie Yummies. They are a better size!
