Cygni and Me

First off I want to say sorry for my disappearance. Its not that easy to continue a blog with my laptop being busted. But I should be back and updating everyone on Cygni now that I have a computer I can use.

Last night Cygni just about gave me a heart attack. It was a bit late, around 10:00pm, a time where I am normally upstairs just relaxing while Cygni plays with toys in her indoor play area. Everything seemed pretty normal until I looked over at Cygni to make sure she was alright and noticed that her mouth looked funny. At first I wasn’t sure what I was looking at. Cygni was just staring back at me with her mouth open a little and her tongue was sticking out of one side of her mouth. It wasn’t until I walked over to the pen that I noticed that she had something stuck in the back of her mouth.

I had no clue what it was all I did know was that my little puppy had something the size of a marble stuck in the back of her jaw. I tried to reach in and push it out but the object’s smooth surface and Cygni’s little fangs prevented its removal. I was stuck sitting with her trying to keep her mouth open so I could figure out what exactly was in her mouth. When I finally managed to get a good look I realized that this little object had a plastic part that was stuck between her teeth or on her teeth. I once again reached it, but this time I pulled up on the plastic and was able to pop it off of her teeth.

The it turned out to be a little plastic and glass toy eye from a stuffed animal! I have no clue how she managed to get the eye, but I have a feeling it has something to do with how much my brother’s beagle tears into stuffed animals around the house. Its amazing that the thing just got stuck on her tooth instead of choking her. And after what happened I do not think I will be letting little Cygni play with anymore toys that have little eyeballs or other parts that she might be able to bite off and choke on.

As a warning to anyone else with a puppy or thinking about getting one. Always make sure that you supervise what your new dog plays with. Puppies are like babies and there is virtually no toy that a puppy should be allowed to play with without supervision.
