Josey the Wonder Dog

This little one seriously takes the cake. Oh how we love her but how accident prone she is. From serious meningitis (we almost lost her and the doctor said he hadn’t seen a case like it in over 10 years) to throwing up EVERY time we go to the ranch, Josey has been through the ringer... and on Saturday there was no surprise to us that she, yet again, almost lost her life.

Scot and I are just hanging out when all of the sudden we see Josey convulsing. Sure we’ve seen her throw up before but this time it was different. You could see the panick in her eyes.

She was choking.

Choking?! Can dogs choke???? I, of course panick and drop to the floor. I start patting her head--- yeah like that’s going to help. But Scottie, oh my sweet husband who I love so much for this reason- He know exactly what to do- grabs Josey underneath the ribs and does a few pumps and out comes the culprit… a little peace of her toy- yeah. Not buying the cheapies anymore! 

You should have seen the relief in her eyes. Oh I felt so bad for the little one. The rest of the day she was almost nostalgic about it… probably thinking how she almost didn’t die again. I seriously don’t get this dog.  She keeps finding ways to hurt herself… and yet… she always seems to come out on top of it.

The moral of the story: don't get a dog. You get too attached...
