A warning to keep plastic bags away from your pets.

http://preventpetsuffocation.com/

I didn't want to make a big deal of it when it first happened because it hurt too much but about six weeks ago I lost my best road trip buddy and friend Maggie when she suffocated on a cat food bag while I was at work. I'm posting this now not for attention or to garner sympathy but as a warning. Every day someone loses a beloved pet due to suffocation. Everyone knows to keep plastic bags away from babies and little kids but I never thought they were a danger to our pets. I learned the hardest way. I lost Maggie to a Science Diet cat food bag that I thought was stored out of her reach, three feet off the floor. It was too much of a temptation and it cost her life. Please don't let this happen to your darling fur babies. Check out the link posted here to see how you can prevent this from happening to you. I'll always have Maggie in my heart. I can never forget how she was the one with me day and night, always happy, through some of the hardest days of my life. I miss her every day.

I line waste baskets with them but I cut the loop handles in case a kitten should get tangled up in it.
