Just when I fought I knew eberyfing....

....to be afraid of.  Here's a recounting of my day today.   I woke up my mama at 4:30 am.  :apls: Yes, its early, but somebodys gotta keep dem hoomans on dere toes.      Den after I got to go outside and do my bizness and drank a whole bowlful of water, and went outside again, I laid down on da couch and had myself a nice nap.        Fer some reason, mama wasn't too happy wif me.      

After my LONG, luxourious, nap I woke up to find dat I was in da libing room all alone.      Den I got da bestest idea eber!!     I sneaked into Jade's room and stole her BIG rawhide she got fer Cwistmas.     I had some twubble dragging it out of dere, but lucky fer me she was outside.   I started eating on it and den all of a sudden I couldn't breathe!!     I was FREAKED out!!   I opened my mouth to take gasps of air and den my mama came running (she had been taking a nap until she heard me).  Mama jus' started laughing.    Didn't hurry to help me of nuffin!    Finally she picked me up and started poking around my nose.  After she gave me a baff I could breathe again but still had a strip of rawhide stuck on the top of my nose.   So...lesson learned, iffen you have to drag it, da rawhide is too big for you and you could face serious injury iffen you try to eat it.   

  Porky Pie

I have never seen of heard of a dog getting rawhide stuck to their nose until today.  Only Porky Pie would do something so bizarre.  :idiot:  He had to stick his snout inside the knot of the rawhide to chew on it, so I'm pretty sure that's how it happened.   The layer of rawhide he got stuck on his nostrils was pretty thin, so he was still getting a little air in there.  It was the funniest, weirdest thing I've seen Porky do yet.   Porky won't even touch the bone anymore.     He keeps looking at me like, "Mom, don't ya remember, dat fing attacked me!!"

Oh no!  The scrapes you get into, Porky Pie!  Now my girls are in the same early bird club as you.  Bonnie's first uppy last night was at TWO AM.  She wanted a drink of water.  Silly girl, I 'bout have to force her to drink during the day.  Go figger.  Then Maddie was up at 5:30 but I made her stay in bed 'til 6:00 when the alarm goes off.  I wish these hooligans kept better hours.  Mommy was very tired today.

Still think you could make some big bucks writting of Porky's adventures.glad Porky's OK

I sure am glad Porky is OK.  I had a horrible scare years ago with my wire Harry.  He got a piece of rawhide stuck in his throat and couldn't breathe.  I couldn't get it out of his throat and my only option was to push it down the hatch.  Harry was fine afterwards but it sure scared the poopie out of us.  Thats why my dogs don't get to have any rawhide products.  They do get the occassional really hard leather chews, but are closely supervised, and it goes into the garbage when it gets anywhere near to being small enough to choke.  I prefer to stuff the hollowed out marrow bones with yogurt or cottage cheese and a small dog biscuit, then freeze it.  It keeps them busy for a while and satisfies their need to chew.
