OMG, I'm so sorry for your loss. What a horrible ordeal to go through...I had something similar happen, although I could get the chew out. I had always heard no rawhide, but I didn't know not to give pig's ears, either. Cadence had choked on a pig's ear, but I gave her the Heimlich and it came out, thank God. I didn't even really know how to give a dog the Heimlich, I just improvised. I have since looked it up, though, b/c it scared the life out of me. All I can offer you is my deepest condolences and prayers. Know that your girl is safe now...you did all that you could for her and she knows that. I hope that in time, your memories will only be of her wonderful life with you, not of her passing. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your wife.
Run free, sweet girl...you are safe.
