I have never had such an awful scare in my life.
We have a metal shoe rack that we keep our board games on in the living room. Well the dogs have never bothered it and we have never considered it unsafe. Well one of their bones ended up behind the shoe rack and I guess Zachary was trying to get to it.
I was on the couch and my husband was in the kitchen...next thing I hear is Zachary screaming. We both run to him and he is caught in the show rack by the metal tag holder of his collar and he is trying to pull himself free...he keeps screaming and the games are starting to fall off and if he pulled any harder the whole shelf would have fallen on him.
My husband helped him loose and he ran behind the couch. I got him to come out with a treat and took his collar off to look him over. He was so tense but as soon as I took his collar off her relaxed. He was okay, not even a scratch.
I don't know who was more scared us or him. He is going to need a new collar and new tags but that is a small price to pay, I am so thankful the collar and tags broke when he was trying to pull away. Or else we would have had a hard time getting him loose.
I seriously thought for half a second we were going to lose him.
Well the shelf is now outside in the trash and Zack is happily chewing his bone....but I have never been so scared. For once I am glad we crate him when we are gone.
We got rid of that shelf not only because of Zack, but we have a daughter to think about and I can only imagine if she tried to pull up on that shelf.
Again I have never been so scared.
Sorry I just had to let it out. Someone was looking out for him though, some one greater than us....if those tags and collar had broke the whole shelf and everything on it would have come down on him.
I feel so bad about this
