It is a pretty good set up, really. We were parked in the shade so even though it was a warm early evening, it was comfortable in the car. I had a bowl of water and a carpeted surface all to myself - and Mommy #2's lap if I wanted. I was looking for someplace to relax when Mommy #2 pulled out the BEST TREAT KNOWN TO PUGDOM - the BULLY stick.
We do not get them very often because I tend to leave them all over the floor for the peeps to step on.
Oh what JOY!
So I settled down on the floor right under Mommy (and the steering wheel) and started enjoying that most tasty of CHEWS. I chewed and chewed, softening it up JUST RIGHT. Then, I don't know what possessed me. . . but I swallowed it. . . whole. . . just like that. I looked up at Mommy, panting a little but smiling.
She took one look at me. . . one look at the empty floor. . . and flew into what can only be described as a TIZZY! Not to be confused with a TIFFY, who is one of my BFFs. An all out-just this side of panicked- TIZZY is what we had. She quickly stowed her iPad, closed up the car, grabbed my leash and escorted me outside. She reasoned walking may make the BLOB settle and pass quicker.
I don't know if it did- I only peed once or twice. But I know I felt a lot better just trotting along. It was a nice evening, after all. After a time, we went back to the car to read some more. I sat on the car floor, still panting. I drank some water, decided it tasted good, and drank some more.
Suddenly I BURPED! Really loud. And really smelly. But you know what? I felt better. Well, that is my TUMMY felt better. Mommy let me have it verbally about swallowing BIG things whole, about Bully Sticks (I will NEVER get one again), and about vet BILLS (uh. . .).
Lesson learned - until the next time, I'M SURE!

Well, I've done that, too, and my Mom freaked. She gives me bigger sticks and takes them away when they start to get swallowable. She's always hovering (and hoovering, too).
Love,

We have ALL done this same thingy with some BIG and Hard treat, at some time or the other... Our mom is the Treat Pawlice at OUR house and she just says NO to some stuffs.
Bet you Loved that big Bully Stick FLAVORED Belch, Noodles.
Oh, gpsh ... at least you got to enjoy it for a little while! Sure hope your tummy doesn't hurt.
Noodles, you're a true nut, you can'y down things whole. Hope its' not gonna turn into a rear end plug!

oh noodles… what were you thinking????
Your poor mommy! You must have given her such a fright…. Thank goodness all worked out well….
Oh my goodness. You sure did scare her I'm sure. Glad you're okay.
OH NO ... you must have really scared your mama! (Ours freaks out about everything, too!)
Love Zoe, Peyton, Webster, Liberty & Whitney
Momma doesn't let me have rawhides anymore because I swallow them whole! I hope she doesn't put bully sticks on the forbidden list now!!
Oh Noodles. At least it was a bully stick which your tummy will digest and not something like a rawhide that would just glunk things up. Duncan swallows things like bullys and cow ear parts all the time, and he do be okay.
OH Noodles we are happy you are safe and well BUTT now my MOMMA is all paranoid about letting us have our bully sticks, and swallowing everything that we love WHOLE. We cannot even picture you swallowing that thing....wow...

HA HA! Too funny, Noodles. Glad you kept the bully stick down. I know my Dad also worries when I gobble things down WHOLE without chewing. No worries, though - a stinky burp and we're all good. :)
-Love,
Sid.
