Sunday -the day I went to the aquarium -was not a good day for everyone. Minnie – my dog -had a horrible day. I had put her in a kennel since we were going to be gone all day. It was one of those fold up cloth kennels. It has bars on the side – which you lock into place – to prevent the kennel from collapsing. On each end of the kennel, there are two little openings, whose purpose is to allow access to the locking mechanism.

Somehow, Minnie managed to squeeze her head through one of the openings, and she became stuck. Not only was her head stuck in the small opening, she was also hung on the bars. Due to how short Minnie is, and the position of the opening, only her back paws were able to reach the bottom of the kennel. She had to of been very uncomfortable. I hope she had not been stuck like that all day.

Mom and I tried very hard to free her, but Minnie was tired of being stuck  and was panicking. We made the decision to make the opening bigger. Once the opening was big enough, and we could maneuver her around the bars, she was free.

I am going to write the manufacturer, and suggest that a product recall might be in order. I will let you know what kind of response I get.
