I was just having a hyper day. It wasn’t the clip I broke, I’m that strong I broke the chain in the middle, even the post was moving, so my mum says I’ve to get more training.

Our vet put it this way: "She won't come back from a perforated oesophagus, but she can come back from an operation on her stomach". Fortunately in this case the vet thought that the material she'd swallowed (I pocketted a sample to show to the vet) coupled with the short time it had been in there (only about 30 mins) meant that the risk was minimal. @Kirby: Don't worry Beanie and Biggles will be back, it's just that they're not going to be such regulars. I'm quite impressed with your collar-breaking incident - maybe your Mum could try a strong nylon collar (the type with a metal buckle, not a plastic clip) instead of a choker? @Julia:

I'm in the bad books with my mum today. I played up today, my worst bad behaviour yet. Mum put my lead on a fence post cos I was pulling to get to my pals. I had the last laugh though, I pulled that hard that I broke my collar and went after my pals. So mum says I'm to get one of those dreaded choke collars. Some mum, huh.

No surgery required yet, but that has just been luck. As a person who wrestles a Beagle at least once a week, I've considered a muzzle, too, and rejected it for the same reasons. I do carry *really* good treats to 'trade' for garbage - that works sometimes. And really, having the vet induce vomiting isn't the worst thing if it's that simple. I appreciate the idea quite a bit! Love your blog, wish we had Beagle racing here! I have a 3 year old Beagle, Dolly, in Boston, and she adores plastic. No surgery required yet, but that has just been luck.
