Had a doggie emergency tonight. I was eating pork ribs and gave the wifes yorkie a rib bone. 5 minutes later Mrs51 came in yelling that something was wrong with Demmi. She was choaking and going into doggie convulsions. She was foaming at the mouth and twitching as she gasped for air. Luckly there is a 24 hr emergency vet less than 2 miles from the house. The wife drove and I held the dog, she fought me all the way to the vet but a couple of blocks away she just went limp like she was giving up. When we got out of the Jeep at the vets she livened up again. The vet took her in the back room and a couple of minutes later Demmi Dog emerged as if nothing ever happened. The vet handed me a splintered rib bone and said "Do NOT ever give that dog another bone".
I couldn't believe it when the Vet told us there was no charge, then told us to get the heck out before she changed her mind.
