As of Sat. Nov.29 Cody has been banned from the kitchen when I am preparing food. First of all he is always in between my legs when I am zippy around the kitchen pulling this and that out of the frig. Secondly he is always waiting for something to drop so he can snatch it up.
Sat. for lunch I was dieing for hot dogs, I pulled out the George Foreman grill opened the hot dog bun bag and took out one bun and laid it on the counter. IDK maybe the bun was close to the edge of the counter. Cody decides HE NEEDS TO POTTY like NOW. So I go 10 feet to the back door to let him out, open the door, no Cody. Cody where are you, I look in the kitchen to see where is he since he made this big fuss about needing to go potty, what I see is the hot dog bun sticking out of his mouth, I run and telling him to DROP IT while prying open his mouth. Cody is adopted one year now, he has never done something like this forme to use the drop it command, does he know what the command means? His prev. owner taught him several basic commands that I discovered over the months I have had him. The DROP IT command didn't work well, I managed to get part of the bun that was hanging out of his mouth as his jaw was locked, and no amount of forcing his jaws open worked, so I backed off, when I saw him relax his jaws I tried again, no success. He was trying to get 3/4 of that bun down really fast, I thought OMG, he's gonna choke to death if that DRY bun gets stuck in his throat. Again I am trying to PRY open his jaws, not working so now I am watching to make sure he doesn't choke on his determination to eat that bun. Thank god he was ok. After that episode he was banned from the kitchen. My concern is onions, when I do cook I used a lot of onions and am always careful when I am chopping them because he is always right there waiting for something to hit the floor, so I work slower and very careful. Now that I see he will not release what's in his mouth he is banned for LIFE from the kitchen when I cook. Maybe you should do the same so accidents like what you are going through does not happen again. A hot dog bun will not kill a dog, but onions and other foods are very toxic to dogs. I will not take a chance after what I went through trying to prevent Cody from eating this bun,as hard as it is to scold him and ban him it is for the safety of his life. I hope your baby is ok, please keep us posted.
