I'm so sorry for your loss, Heather. I got choked up myself when I read your account of what happened and thought of how many times I've accidentally just left a plastic bag laying around "For just a second" while I put away the groceries. I'm so glad you posted about it though... because it's reminded me that having pets is just like having babies in the house... and no matter how careful we think we are being... we are always underestimating our little one's ability to find something to hurt themselves on!

I know it's hard to see a bright side to any of this... but if it's any consolation at all, your story may save the lives of several others on this group... because it's definitely woken ME up to the hazards in my home that I take for granted. As of TODAY, plastic bags will be shredded before tossing away. I'll make a better effort of not even bringing grocery bags into the house... and make continual use of the green grocery totes instead. Cords, up and out of the way... I'm also getting baby locks and socket covers today as well.

I'm so sorry about your tragedy... and that is exactly what it is...a horrible, terrible, tragedy. But thank you for sharing this pain with us, because I know we have all learned something about not taking our puppy's safety for granted.

It could just as easily been any of us... and because we love our babies as much as you love Corky... we are feeling your pain, too.

Heather, I am so sorry. I feel only a tiny portion of the heartbreak you are feeling right now, and it hurts. IT IS NOT YOUR FAULT! Corky had a wonderful life because of you. And maybe because of what you have posted here, some of us will look twice at our trash cans and make sure our doggies can't get into them, or destroy every unused bag we have. I know I will.

I'm so sorry Heather. If there is anything I can do, please let me know. If you ever want to visit with Daisy, we are always around. I know they would have been best friends.

Thank you all for your support. I wish that something could take the pain of missing Corky away. I hope that will come with time. Thank you

Oh Heather. Bless your heart. I'm so sorry to hear about Corky. It is not your fault. Unfortunately our Corgis (and other dogs) do like to stick their heads into bags. It does happen, and it is an accident. Here is a link to some others who have lost their fur-kids to bags. I hope it is helpful to know that you are not alone. My condolences for Corky. She'll be waiting for you at the bridge.

Heather, My heart aches for you. I know words can't make you feel better, but take comfort in knowing that others share your pain. We are blessed with too little time with these fourlegged bundles of love. I know it is hard to shake the feeling of blame. I still feel responsible for when my Basil died, but we can't predict or prevent everything. It is not your fault. I am so, so sorry. Take care , you are in my thoughts and prayers.--Kristen

I am so terribly sorry to hear that. Don't feel guilty, it wasn't your fault. *Many hugs* I give you the best of wishes. <3 I hope you feel better soon.

Is it my fault? :( I keep looking for her to come running up to me.

I know... it's so senseless. I have been sitting here with my heart in my throat because I am so sorry for you.
