choking dogs and cold weather

It's freezing outside, not even 30 degrees in April? Global Warming?

The icing on the cake--I have to leave the house, in this. I'm not sure what upsets me the most about that: brushing my hair on a Monday morning, or going out in the cold.

Nothing more to say, except that I'd rather stay in the recliner with my dog, drink coffee and work on a new book idea.
OH, the dog. She nearly died this morning.

NOTE TO SELF: Dogs can't put hands on throat in international sign of choking.

Its also difficult to do the Heimlich on a dog. Finger down throat...of dog, not self. Yeah, that's a TMI moment, but be thankful you weren't the one with your finger down the dog's throat at 6:30 am.

My life is so stinking exciting.
