Not fun:
I don't think he actually couldn't breath, but still scary. I tried to dislodge the culprit while having a heart attack. Now the dog thinks I'm nuts, the fiance (he doesn't get a name. gr) says I overreact, and an acquaintance tried to tell me dogs can't choke. What?
By the way, this blog exemplifies reason 532 of why I shouldn't have two legged children.
I try to keep my posts strictly animal related but I can't resist sharing these. Meet my best friend Steph and my nephew Noah Jr. We finally had time to do a photo session with her newest baby Neko. Aren't they all beautiful? You can't ask for much better than a beautiful Spring evening, your best friend, and your amazing nephew. 
Something I wanted to mention about my "cat series." For those photogs out there that volunteer at their local shelter, here's an idea if you'd like to share. A few months ago I was brainstorming on how to get the long timers out. For us that is mostly cats. I sat down and made a list of the cats that had been there the longest (which for some was over one year). Then I begged for help from someone at the shelter, and after a very long day had beautiful images of all of those cats. At the time what I did was shoot each cat under studio lighting with a black background. I then printed each in an 8X10 and hung them in our lobby. Within a week, the two cats that had been there longest, Chloe (--who had been with us for fourteen months) and Sprite a beautiful girl who had cerebellar hypoplasia (I believe she was about fourteen months also) both went home. Within roughly a month, every cat on the wall (except one) went home. I
I decided to nix the studio lighting this time, as for one I can't stand doing it, and two I didn't have anyone to help me. So I took the kitties outside for some really nice natural light. Here's some of my results:
Tammy, who has feline leukemia
Snow-- such a beauty. She has some problems with anemia, but should have a nice life ahead of her.
And Tom :)
