Maggie Strikes Again x2

When ever I tell people about a Maggie incident, they always tell me that around 2 years old labs really start to calm down. I am beginning to think these people are lying to me.

This week, the week of her 2nd birthday, Maggie wanted to prove that she was not going to follow the norm. On Tuesday night, while DH and I slept comfortably in our bed, Maggie passed the evening eating one of my favorite pair of work shoes. Grrr. Then on Wednesday night, as I laid in bed watching the CMA awards, I suddenly smelled a strong bubble gum scent. I asked DH to look and see what Maggie had because I could hear messing around with something. He walked in and found his blackberry battery laying on the ground. He picked it up and it was scalding hot. He immediately ran into the bathroom and threw it in the sink. After examining the battery, he realized she had puncture the battery releasing the acid in it. Crap. Now I jumped out of bed and ran to Dr. Google to see what results I could find on "Dog Ate Battery". After a little research, I realized the the type of battery is important in what the appropriate protocol was. We looked at my blackberry and realized its a Lithium Ion. Back to Dr. Google. All signs point to call the vet. So then I call the emergency vet (which is hind sight I should have just done in the beginning), and he told us that as long as she didn't have an soars in her mouth, and wasn't acting sick she probably fine. Phew. But needless to say, I'm hoping she "calms down" soon!

Hope everyone has a great weekend!
