Hi guys!
We have something very important to talk to you about today. But first – we’d like you to meet Mason.
Isn’t he just the most handsome guy? A few years ago he managed to get into some very serious business. Mom asked his mom, Lisa, if she could share Mason’s story on the bloggy and she said yes. You can see more pictures on their website if you want. http://shineonwhippets.webs.com/
So – what did Mason get into? He got into the paper shredder. Literally. He was quite lucky, though, and they managed to pull his tongue back out without too severe damage. Here you can see a photo after it’s healed back up.
We didn’t want the bloody pictures on the blog. But if you haven’t seen the result of paper shredder damage before you might Google paper shredder + dog + tongue and you’ll see how lucky Mason is.
So here’s the deal. We’re heading into a season where paper shredders are used more frequently in the average home. Please – please -please – if you have a paper shredder always keep it unplugged when it isn’t used. And when it’s in use – please make sure no animals are in the room with you. Although Mason has a very funky looking tongue we don’t want any more friends with injured tongues or whose furs are cut off.
Warm and safe snuggles

Thank you so much for that information. Momma doesn't even leave our shredder plugged in. What an awful thing that would be.Slobbers,MangoP.S. Your sweater makes you look kind of portly.
Oh goodness, that gives me cold chills. Thanks for an important reminder. I'm glad Mason is better now.
Oh how awful for poor Mason. Our shredder is never plugged in unless the humans are using it. And it is always kept where we and the grandkidlets are not allowed. Safety first.Great post, Bajas, Hyssing, and Virus.Woos ~ Phantom, Thunder, and Ciara
