Caution when shaking laundry ...... - YorkieTalk.com Forums

You are never going to belive what happened while I was doing the washing. Well I put my sons jean in the washer and did not check the pockets, well...when the cloths were done I noticed that someone must of had a piece of paper in their pocket. It was torn up all in the washer and all over the cloths. I started pulling them out and shacking the little pieces of paper off all over the floor before I put them in the dryer. I got them in the dryer and walked outside on the porch and my little Phyllis followed me out side. When she looked up at me I thought...... "OMG"

she had a white piece of paper in her whole eye!!!!! It covered the whole left eye like a white contact lens. She could blink.( she acted like nothing was wrong. She didnt try to rub it out or rub her face on the floor or anything ) I ran back in with her and yelled for my son to help me...(of course he was in his room with head phones on not hearing a thing I was yelling. I picked Phyllis up and put her in the sink ( holding tight with one hand ) trying to fill up a cup of warm water to pour over her eye. The paper fit perfectly like a contact over her eye. The water got a piece lose so I could pill it off with my finger. I flushed her eye real good. Thank god the paper got real soft in the washer. She is doing fine...no blinking or eye watering or anything. So everyone please be extra careful when shaking anything around your furbabies...so much stuff could fall in their eyes...

Glad you got it out , am sure it scared you and just goes to show how quickly things can happen.

Wow, it's a good thing you noticed it right away before it damaged her eye! That is one of my pet peeves, people leaving stuff in their pockets and making a mess in my washer - ugh!

Thanks for the warning. I am pleased there wasn't any damage done to her eye.

How scary! That was a bizzare accident. I am so glad that little Phyllis is ok. Pat yourself on the back for your quick thinking.

I'll add shaking out laundry to my growing list of "ways Yorkies can get hurt.
