Christmas miracle.

[Jfire]

Well tonight was a little interesting. Long story short we have a few USPS boxes surrounding both are Xmas trees. The pup seems to like to sit under the trees. Then when we are not looking try to bight at ornaments or even worse lights. Well I was cleaning up after dinner and the wife had just started to go online to look at a few more Xmas gifts for family. It seems the dog was able to get past all the boxes. All of a sudden the dog starts yelping over and over again from under the tree. I ran and grabbed him about 10 ft from the tree and hes still yelping. He starts to lose ALL bowl movements and a few seconds later vomit. After a couple mins only shaking is left in him. I just kept saying thank god, thank god he's still alive. He's washed up now and so am I.(got all over me) Right now I have no children and he with out a doubt is like our only child. Needless to say the lights are all unplugged, the boxes are secured with tape (both to themselves and even to the trim). Commence with a big glass of George T. Stagg going to calm the nerves.

OMG Justin that's fuckin crazy buddy, thank God he's ok. Dude that's one lucky pooch, my kids woulda been cryin if our George Bailey woulda ever done that.

Wow dude, I would have freaked! Glad he is alright!

 

[iCraig]

Holy hell... Damn. Glad he's alright man! Christmas miracle for sure.

 

[Monsterdg]

Glad to hear he's alright; we have a pack here myself and would hate to go through that.

 

[BradMc]

Wow J. glad u have it under control , last year our cat climbed the tree just after we got it up , I feel for ya Bro ......

 

[cvm4]

That would be the worst Justin! Good thing the little fella is alright

 

[njstone]

Wow, glad he's okay! So was it a light he bit into? Must have been given that level of reaction. Fortunately Christmas lights don't carry much juice. I'm just glad he didn't have a heart attack from the panic!

 

[kockroach]

I was thinking the same as Nate. Little guy must have bit the wires. And even though it may not be too much electricity, I know how small he is. Glad to hear he is okay. Keep an eye on him....make sure he is eating and drinking like normal.

 

[Jfire]

Were thinking he bit the main(green) intertwined chord because none of the lights ( even a small section) are actually out. I don't remember what type of fuse (3.5 A?)are in those sets but I would guess its enough to stop his heart. (6 lbs soaking wet) Yeah he's already eating a little and barking at the front door.

Glad the little fella is ok!

 

[smokinbodybuilder]

glad your puppy is so resilient! That would have given me a scare too!

 

[AlohaStyle]

Glad the pooch is okay J, but coulda been worse...

I know how that's scared feeling is I had a 5 week husky pup get into a holly bush I laid out of work 3 days to feed her with syringe until she could eat again. Awesome he snapped back so fast.

 

[USCG Cigar Newb]

Glad it all worked out, cant imagine the scare you had. I have a 3 month old Rottweiler/Golden mix and Id be crushed if something happened.

 

[Crypto Sailor]

Justin I'd prob go ape shit if something happened to my dog, The wife and I don't have any kids yet so Penny is our baby! I'm glad to hear he's alright...

 

[javajunkie]

that is horrible to go through, and i am so glad little guy is o.k.!

and don't apologize, people shouldn't have pets unless they love them. you have every right to be concerned. now the "pets are people with people rights" people , maybe a TAD too far...

still, glad to hear all is cool, and hopefully that one instance of negative reinforcement keeps lil'un and your tree safe!

 

[ciggy]

Glad the little fella is ok!

Ditto! They are exactly like our kids and so we worry for them the same.

Good reaction to your little guy's trauma... pets will train you to be a good parent in the future. I don't think he will be near the tree ever again.
Have a happy and safe holidays.
