FYI...DANGEROUS "PEOPLE" FOOD FOR YOUR PETS!!!



Mom took me to see Dr. John.  Dr. John told Mom I couldn't have some people food.  Who would have thought that some people food was bad for me?  I like everything...If you drop it on the floor I'll eat it, but Dr. John says that's not always a good idea.

Ginger doesn't eat food off the floor.  She only eats cat food and kitty treats.  She's kind of a prima donna.  Check out her fancy fluffy bed!  See what I mean?

She even likes to eat on the table! 
Anyway, Dr. John said pets should NOT eat...
  • chocolate
  • coffee or any caffeine
  • alcohol
  • macadamia nuts
  • grapes or raisins
  • raw yeast dough
  • raw/undercooked  meat, eggs and bones
  • xylitol-a sweetner in many products
  • onions
  • garlic
  • chives
  • milk
  • salt
Mom asked Dr. John where he got his information from and he said, "Ahem...I'm a vet."  Then he chuckled and gave her a sheet of paper with the information on it.You can find out more information about things that can be dangerous for your pets at www.aspca.org/pet-care/ask-the-expert-poison-control/people-foods.html.

I really like the smell of Mom when she eats chocolate, but she won't share...so I chew my keys.

Or if I'm good I get to play with my raccoon teddy bear that Lenny sent me for Christmas.  But I only get to play with him when someone is watching.  My humans are kind of over-protective.

ONE SICK PUPPY!

I have to put off tonight’s post...Our puppy, Macy, had some sort of allergic reaction to something today. Our awesome vet zoomed over to the house, whisked her away and filled her up with medication. I was sick to my stomach. I thought she was having a heart attack! She went rigid and began drooling. She couldn't move. It was seriously scary! Her face began swelling...Our awesome vet filled her up with medicine, observed her for a few hours and then brought her home. He said we could call him during the night if we needed to. What a great guy! She's pretty lethargic, but she looks okay. She's curled up on her big pillow.




I'll post my truths and pass along the awards tomorrow...
