Dog Drama. . .

Last night seemed like the perfect night to stay home and do nothing. We had both gotten home for the night and the snow was coming down faster then I have ever seen it come. We had a show on in the basement and I was wrapping presents when we heard a crunch.

To our horror we looked over to see Bentley chewing on a Christmas ornament. She had eaten the top off of a glass ball ornament and had already started chewing up the glass in her mouth and swallowing it!

We grabbed her, opened her mouth and saw nothing. So Brian called the vet and they suggested we bring her down right away in fear of a torn esophagus or the possibility of ripping a hole in her stomach.

I have never seen Brian drive that fast, or look so worried, and I have never panicked so much either! She was gagging the whole way there and the ride seemed like it would never end.

After a long night sitting in the pet hospital, our doctor concluded that she had swallowed glass but that she had ground it so small with her teeth that it was not seen as a threat. As a precautionary step, we were sent home with a dog laxative! I know right?

Anyways, 90 bucks and no sleep later, we finally went to bed. Thankful that our dog was ok and that she was going to be fine.

This never would have happened if Bentley knew to LOOK at ornaments, and not EAT them, (I say sarcastically bc it will never happen.) She is just like a baby. A one pound furry baby...

Sleepily yours!
