Yesterday, when walking the dog past a house that was having a T&D patio and screen enclosure done down the street, voila...he grabbed a chicken bone and I couldn't get it out of his throat before he swallowed it. I found another one he did not get but it only takes one. I have been watching the dog diligently and hope he passes it.

I have called T&D to remind them that lots of people walk their dogs so their people shouldn't drop their food trash especially bones at sites. I thought I would post here to remind everyone when walking past any construction site, there may be something to eat. It isn't just at the big construction sites.
Good reminder, thanks.
