Today's Drama


So I thought my day was going great, was getting everything I needed to get done. I walked down the hall to put something away and Tacoma(our dog) comes running out of Mackenzie's room with slobber flinging all over the walls and all over himself. He was gagging. I thought he was choking and was dying right in front of me. I pull him on my lap and pry his mouth open to see if I could see any obstruction, and a shiny little metal object catches my eye and I realize that it is one of Mackenzie's hairclips. Tacoma has a jewelry/metal fetish, he is always trying to chew the stuff up. The hairclip is imbedded in his gums and stuck behind his last molar. I try to pry it out by myself but he is jerking his head away and continually chomping his jaws, embedding it further. So I can't hold his mouth open and get pliers back there by myself. I start to panic, and because I have pregnancy hormones the tears flow and I think my dog is going to die(of course he isn't but its called pregnancy logic). My family is all at work, and the one that is a stay at home mom is on vacation to vegas. So I call Tiffany, one of my friends that live nearby, just hoping she is home and available. She is and is over SO fast! I pin Tacoma between my legs and poor brave Tiffany is given the task to hold open his mouth :) while I pull the clip out. It was over super fast and I can't believe I shed tears over the dumb dog. Just glad it wasn't Miah because I couldnt pay anyone money to stick their hands anywhere near her chomping jaws! Let alone pin her down! So thanks again Tiffany for coming to the rescue and saving my dogs life hahaha!

I'm glad I could help! First off, I've been pregnant so I'm all to familiar with the hormones and second... I hear dog's saliva is cleaner than most humans!

Oh the hormones... aren't they great! You poor thing, and your poor dumb dog! I'm so glad that everything came out ok!

Well, I'm glad your dog was okay. That is pretty scary. I'm not pregnant but I think I would have been scared enough to cry myself.

I am glad that you and Tacoma are ok! I would have been crying even if I wasn't pregnant!

I would have driven the dog to Mark, while crying :)
