Word of Warning!

Beware of hanging toys and/or strings!
The play-station they are sitting on came with 2 fluffy toys attached to it with string & they loved them - especially the little mouse that made Dougal become an expert acrobat, with his head stands & body rolling! Imagine my shock when I came in from shopping to find Dougal lying on his back, paw in the air with the string tightly wrapped around it - he was in pain as the paw had started to swell so was extremely relieved when I removed it and no permanent damage seems to have been done. My main concern, of course, was that it could have been his neck that was tied up & the more he struggled to get it off - well, it just doesn't bear thinking about.
Needless to say, both fluffy things were removed immediately, as you can see from the picture, and I would STRONGLY suggest that if you have anything similar for your pet, you do the same thing.
Thanks,
Lorraine.
