a Warning and a Freebie
ok, lets start with the Warning....
Keep all chocolate away from your dogs!! It can kill them.
This is our doggie, Darla. She got into some chocolate last Monday. She is only 3 pounds and was rushed to the vet within the 2 hour safe range that is stated on the internet. The vet gave her something to throw up. My daughter picked her up that afternoon. By 10:30 that night we were at the emergency clinic with a dog that was near death. Severely dehydrated, with a temp of only 94, when a dogs temp should be around 100.
She spent 3 days at the vet and 2 nights at the emergency clinic on an IV drip. No one thought she was going to make it. She couldn't stand or move her head. She was limp and barely breathing.
She came home yesterday. Weak and full of awful red spots where she was too dehydrated for them to get and IV in. I can't even count how many times she was poked before they finally got a vein. This morning she is skin and bones but wagging her tail and looking for food. She even managed her outside pose when I said the word outside. For some reason when you ask her if she wants to go outside, she always picks up her right foot and freezes in place. I need to disclose, I am not a dog person. When my daughter came home with this dog I thought she was the funniest looking thing I had ever seen. Her personality won me over. I have never met a smarter dog.
So please, please this Valentine's Day... keep all chocolate away from your doggies.
Not her best shot... she was not to keen on the flash or the bow. :)

Thank you for the wonderful polaroid frame... beautiful as always.

You also want to be sure your dog doesn't get into any sugarless food/gum that contains xylitol. This is suppose to be very bad stuff. Raisins, grapes, and nicotine/cigarettes are also things to watch out for. I had to call the emergency vet after my dog munched on some relative's cigarettes. I guess he wanted to see what chewing tobacco is like:)
glad that your dog is going to be okay. I have 2 dogs of my own. I was told that a grape is one of another dangerous food as well. i tried to download ur frame and said I was not one of your subscribers? am I? I love ur frame. Elzbieta
Great freebie giveaway - I have been looking for something like this, so perfect timing.
Thank you very much.
Please - take our best wishes for Darla, we hope she will be fully recovered soon.
And yes - we will keep our dog away from chocolate. He's a havanese, a very smart and lovely guy.
Thanks for your warning and all our love for Darla!

You have a very cute dog.

I am so glad that Darla is okay. I know how furbabies can win you over. Heck, our dog thought she was a child before we brought Sofia home (lol). Darla is a cutie and I am so glad she is feeling better.
Thank you for the beautiful polaroid frame. Take care. :)
Hugs,
