"pick of the litter" information, resources & connections

Right before time to get up this morning I woke up from a nightmare. I was cooking and Pixie was, as usual, under my feet. I cut up some hot dog for him to occupy him and when i turned my back I heard him breathing oddly- he was choking! I tried to Heimlich him but it was not helping and he was struggling to get away and I could not get my fingers far enough down his throat, just as I was going to poke a hole in his windpipe I woke up!
Gads! What a horrible dream! It seemed SO real. Luckily, since kidlet is at Nana's he was right by my feet so his day started with a huge hug from a very relieved mom. He was confused but happy for the extra cuddles.
Yiminy!
I may have to do some Heimlich and tracheotomy research today just to set my mind at ease....

Hi,
I just found out that Dove Lewis and also the Red Cross do dog first aid. I'm going to write them to see if they will put it up for our members.

Glad it was just a bad dream!
