I'm posting this is because I'm devastated, riddled with guilt, and I honestly don't know what else to do with myself. Today I came home from the gym to find my 13 month old Corgi, Milo, dead on my kitchen floor with his head in a chip bag.
I had unknowingly left it out which he got into and suffocated. I've replayed every decision, every action in my head and if I would have known that that bag could be so fatal I would have done so many things differently. I've always worried about choking on treats or toys or eating grapes or chocolate. I never thought about how dangerous a chip bag could be.
I took to Google to figure out how this could happen and apparently it's way more common than I ever would have thought. So common in fact that I can't believe I've never heard anything about it.
I keep replaying the day over and over, so many things I could have done differently. I'm angry with myself and exhausted from all the tears. But I can't change the past so I'm going to do everything I can think of to spread this message.
****Please cut any food bags on both ends and along a side to be safe, even if you're throwing them away. Not only could this save your dog or cat but it could save wildlife as well.*****
Don't learn this lesson the way I did
