Got the crap scared out of me last night
When I got home from work yesterday I went to put more water in Koda's bowl (our new puppy) when I noticed a small piece of plastic floating in it. I got to looking around for whatever he had chewed up and found a small plastic box cutter. I immediately called HH because I couldn't find any blades and I thought for sure Koda has swallowed them. HH got home a few minutes later and we pried open Kodas mouth. We didn't find any cuts anywhere and he was acting normal. After searching around some more I found the blade underneath Koda's bed. How he got it under there without being cut we have no idea, and where he found that box cutter we have no clue. All that matters is he's ok, but he sure did scare the living day lights out of his new mommy and daddy!

Oh my god Hayley - does she not have any tastebuds? Treadmill oil? Hahahaha oh dear I thought Stella was bad! But she's not a chewer anymore, she doesn't touch anything except her own toys.
It's amazing what they can get into though...boxcutters, oil, highliters...oh dear these pups!
OMG! I would have been hysterical to! We keep all of our medicines on the top shelf of our kitchen cabinets so there's no worry there.
Aww Stu that is so sad! we were freaking out just when kota ate the oil. She also got one of those little silica gel packets and I was FREAKING out. We always google it though and luckily it's happened to lots of other people so we knew she'd be okay.
I would be crushed if anything ever happened to Dakota
she is our baby!!
Oh my goodness! You guys have some scary stories.
The worst that ever happened to us all had to do with horses. My horse got colic once, which scared me to death. Everything happens to animals on Saturday nights or Sundays, too, when it's hard to get a vet, let alone a large-animal vet who will make farm calls. We finally found a girl who would come out at 10:00 on a Saturday night, and she ran a tube down his nose to relieve the pressure.
Once when we were working on the barn, Buddy came barreling in from the field to see what was up. He smacked into a 4x4 but seemed to be mostly okay. A few days later, though, he pinned his ears back and tried to charge and bite me when I went out to feed him. He was being really aggressive, which is the polar opposite of his normally sweet personality. I was convinced that he had rabies and was going to be put down. I spent the day in hysterics until the vet finally got there, was able to get close enough to check, and found the egg on his head. It was hidden by his forelock. He just had a killer headache!
My brother's horse is kind of dumb, and once he freaked out when we were trying to put him in the trailer. He reared up and came down hard on the bar that holds the doors shut, and he split open his THROAT. And of course he was in a panic, so his heart was going like mad and pumping the blood out in gushes. I had to literally hold his neck together for half an hour. If we hadn't had blood-stop powder there for the goats' horns, he could have easily bled to death. My arms were covered in blood to my elbows.
Holy crap! There's no way I could have done that!
I'm so glad he's okay!
Rosco has a nose for the great stuff. Yesterday he found a piece of floor molding about 2 inches long that he was chewing on with the nails still in it. I had to dig it out of his mouth with the nails poking the roof of his mouth. I was panicking. But the little monster just started chewing on the laptop power cord.
