Xylitol - A Silent Dog Killer
I wanted to share an important note about a sugar substitute that can be very deadly to dogs. I recently learned of this when a friend of a friend lost her German Shepherd from eating sugar free gum that contained Xylitol. Xylitol is found in many popular diet foods, pudding, muffins, gum and even toothpaste. From what I have read, it doesn't take much or a long period of time (as little as a few sticks of gum) for dogs to drop over. Here is a link to some additional information. If you have four legged pups around, be sure to keep this very deadly ingredient away.
Happy Birthday
On a lighter note, we had a fun birthday party for Basil and Bocci last week. I know...I can hear all of you now...a birthday party for a DOG??? Yep - two dogs in fact! With Bocci turning 13 and Basil hitting 1 we just had to celebrate. Helping the matter was some cool plates I found with a Golden wearing a birthday hat and cool shades.
Baileyism
I love that Bailey could not catch to save her life. I thought of it today when throwing Bocci a piece of popcorn. Of course, Bocci caught it mid air like a true pro, but not Bailey. She would have done this counterclockwise circle thing with her head and missed completely. Love her!
