The Scary Mango Incident

Last night my husband was sitting on the floor enjoying an old mango that had been in the back of the fridge. I felt it was questionable, but when I tasted a tiny piece it really good. Well he dropped the pit on the floor and the dog tried to grab it!!! James was fast enough and got it BUT- Then I opened my mouth and said " I used to let him taste some of the mango off the pit." Well just like that my husband held the pit and instead of just tasting the mango the dog SWALLOWED the whole damn thing!!! I lost my sh-t to say the least! All I could think was OMG he is going to die! My fear/freak out went into hysteria, I was overwhelmed by the idea that there was no way he could poop that out, that the pit would tear his intestine, that he could choke if he tried to throw it up.

We called the emergency vet and they told us it was not an emergency and to take him in first thing to our vet and get an x-ray (MADE my husband call our vet and leave a message.) All night long I woke up checking on the dog, making sure he was breathing (not choking).

Well finally at 6am when I woke up the dog was up moving around. He was alive and well and ready to go out. AND when my looked up again he was in the hallway trying to throw up the pit!! My husband ran over and my dog actually got the pit up and out! I have never been so happy to see my dog throw up! Worry and fear get you nowhere!!!
