December 30.... 5:00 AM
Who would have ever thought I'd have to use the Heimlich Manuever on Cricket?
I had just given the dogs a mini milkbone treat to tide them through until 6:30 AM morning feed time..... Cricket gobbled hers up...she usually chews them quite well, but this one got stuck in her throat and she gagged and gagged. I thought she would probably just throw it up...but nothing ever happened. Finally I stuck my finger down her throat but didn't feel anything. She kept gagging. Then I did what I hoped would be the Heimlich. After two or three tries I stuck my finger in her throat again and there was the 1/2 mini milkbone. After I pulled it out, she was fine. WHEW!!
I owe it to divine intervention more than just me, but so very grateful that she is ok.
