[nagdu] Choking!

[Larry D. Keeler]

Interesting question! My little dog seems to have that issue most. I just 
massage his throat and calm him down and it works ok. I have been known to 
reach in his mouth and look for chicken bones and such and sometimes find 
weird stuff like tacks! I had to remove one of those from between his teeth 
and he did not like it much! Wonder if there isn't such a class? Or maybe 
the schools should offer such a thing?
