Please flame me now :(

Naahhh, you aren't a bad mummy. It happens to the best of us. At least you caught the pup.

RB Dazzle chewed through more cords than I care to think about, and lived through it all. I eventually rubbed Vaseline on all the cords to stop him.

You can't move all of them out of reach, floor lamps, etc, not without making life awkward.

BTW, using Vaseline means all -- and I mean ALL -- the dust bunnies will gravitate to those cords.

No flaming here, been there. I'm glad Mikey is alright, that's all that matters now. Layla chewed my fish tank pump and light cords in half one time, don't know if she pulled them out of the wall before she chewed them or not. Hubby was supposed to be watching her while I showered, she was just a puppy.
My cat Sassy chewed my answering machine cord in half when she was PO'd because I brought Missy home and also used to pull lights out of the sockets on our Christmas tree while it was turned on!
We all try to be careful, but still things happen, like I said, at least Mikey is ok.

[Riptide]

Nah, don't worry too much. It happens. Like everyone said, the important thing is that you caught him in time!

Maybe you should have named him Suddenly. If you turn your back for a nanosecond, there is "suddenly" a puppy where he's not supposed to be! Ah the joys of puppyhood

This brought back so many memories...

When Frisk was a puppy he chewed all the way through the cord of a plugged-in electric pencil sharpener. Then, when he was going through another stage of chewing he nearly chewed the cord to the N64 in half. He didn't stop there; he did the same thing to all the controllers. That is only the tip of the iceberg! Its a wonder he didn't kill himself, but he always walked away unscathed.


I guess what I am getting at is that I don't think there is a single person here that can justifiably flame you for a complete accident. If so, I deserve a good flaming, too!

God watches out over our little pups.....especially our little boy pups!! No one would have blamed you because we have all had instances with our pets and/or kids where trouble could have happened. Don't worry about it!!!! You're a great mom!!!

Honestly, when I thought of it later, I don't think he could have died from the shock, but who knows? Thank you guys, I still feel so dumb for not simply watching the stinker though He definitely scared me though, and I am glad he didn't get hurt. At the moment, I was just caught up and of course, thought of only the worst.

Oh don't you worry! Boy puppies are such trouble. Hank is just a year old and he gets into EVERYTHING, he will chew ANYTHING that he thinks is interesting to him - socks, t-shirts, hats, jewelry, bones, magazines.. they will outgrow it eventually, but sounds like Mikey is just like Hank - just very curious!!
