About a week ago, I had a very touching and sad story sent to me. I have a 8 month old chocolate lab so I took it to heart. The story is about a dog named Chai and his unfortunate disability caused from a simple dog toy produced by the company Four Paws. For those of you who need the short story and are unable to read the entire blog, here is what it boils down to.
Four Paws produces a toy called a "pimple ball". When Chai had bitten into the ball, the ball had actually created a suction due to there not being a second hole in the ball to prevent this. The aftermath was his tongue to become stuck in the ball. The ball swell around Chai's tongue and eventually not only did the ball have to be cut off, Chai's tongue had to be amputated. Chai has had to face so many challenges in this event including things that are second nature to any living thing. In the blog there is a video that shows Chai and I have to be honest, I haven't brought myself to watch it yet.
I would think that a well known company would be doing everything in it's power to help this poor owner and animal in this incident but they haven't done much, if anything. They have however, posted a warning on their website. There are over 500,000+ of these balls out there so naturally the first thing I did was to make sure one of Allie's (my lab) toys wasn't one of these ball.
Please spread the word about this because it's happened in more than this case. Click the link for the full story. As sad as it is, its worth your time.

I'm here to strive not only as a real estate agent but also as a person. I believe the quote "Secondary Education Creates A Living, Self Education Creates A Future".
My name is Brittney Mathes and I'm a new agent with the quickly growing community of EXIT Realty. I decided to pursue a career in the industry mainly because of the passion that I have for helping people. My mom is a broker in Grand Junction, Colorado so I've always been exposed to Real Estate and always felt that I had a natural talent for it. I'm hoping to achieve so much and hopefully meet and help some extraordinary people.
I was born in raised in the great Colorado air and have a deep passion for the mountains. Some of the hobbies I miss most are snowboarding, white water rafting, fishing, hiking, archery, four-wheeling and most of all, camping. In the REAL outdoors! In the year 2005, I moved to Virginia Beach to be with my now husband. We are both from Colorado so adapting to beach life has taken some time. We hope to get our scuba diving certifications within the next year and maybe learn how to fly fish in the ocean.
I believe in what comes around goes around. By keeping that mental note in my head at all times, I'm hoping that I will be able to provide my clients with the best service. If I treat my clients and other people in the real estate world with respect and kindness, it will help me achieve respect and kindness. With that being said, if there is ever a moment when you don't feel I'm doing this...let me know!
Hope to meet so many of you!
Sincerely,
Check out the group I just created...
