Ouch! Good thing you were there to save him. Who knows... if he were home alone he could have swallowed it trying put pull it out.

One time S.O.'s parents' cocker spaniel somehow got a strand of carpeting twisted around her toenail. S.O. and i were the only ones there. She started screaming bloody murder. I must have flew across the room... Now i know it could have been scary and a bit painful, but this dog over-reacted to everything and this was no exception.

On the plus side i got hero status from her and she followed me around everywhere after that. (Which i would have loved, but she was highly neurotic and always smelled horrid. Neither of which i really think we her fault.)
