    Hopefully no one has to use it.

  • I had one choking incident a long time ago, with my girl Tamu. She got a piece of apple core stuck in her throat and was frantic to dislodge it. She could breath (and scream!) and also was lashing out at anyone who came near her. I didn't have an actual plan except to avoid being bitten, but I did manage to remove the offending core, after which she was just fine, but it was a scary moment. And a reminder that a scared or hurting dog may bite! She even snapped at my other girl, Lady, when she came close. Of my five Basenjis, two would react badly to pain (e.g. painfully cold feet in winter), the other three were stoic and knew that you were trying to help them in a crisis.

  • @Kembe, nice post! We've gone to solid food chopped up in a food processor, but we're grinding it a bit more course as we go. So far, no puppies are choking, but good to know!

    @AJs: See, Dan? First you tick everybody off, now you make everybody cry. But you're still not getting off the hook that easy. You will NOT be banned and in fact will be required to stay. :D What?! That's it I'm going back to my stupid jokes!

    How come the invisible dogs are so much better behaved than real ones? When I run my invisible dog for agility (aka walking the course), he always qualifies. Well, except when I was running my invisible Jet the try-ing.

    I LOVE It's Me Or The Dog!!! She is awesome. She really lays down the law for people. Especially when the family pack order is all out of whack, which is often.
