Phewee!
Trying to catch our breath's. (and so was he!)
Guinness (our nearly 12er tri) can be a bit lazy. Particularly for not chewing enough.
I had put their food down - at around 6pm this evening. Normally I hang around to make sure everyone behaves. Shirl had gone upstairs to get some stuff ready.
I think that I was in the kitchen - though now it seems a bit of a blur.
Guinness takes a piece of meat and walks away from his plate - bit unusual for him - until his plate is clean.
Then he collapsed.
On his side and all limp. Presume that he was choking.
I gave him some hard slaps on his back - and called for Shirl.
She came quickly, while I tried to see what was in his mouth - but that was clamped shut.
She gave him the heinrich (or however you spell it) - and we seemed to pull him back. No real gasp for air, and no sign of the meat.
Bad dog for wolfing it down.
But thank god he's still here!!!
BIG BIG BIG HUG!!!:luv:
I'll be making sure he gets smaller chunks in future.
