Several years ago on a fourth of July weekend we took out a large family size pack of chicken and then had to leave home suddenly for about 3 days for a family emergency. When we got home we realized we left it on the counter and double bagged it and trew it in the trash by the road which was outside of our fence. Somehow she got out of the fence, chewed through the bag and ate a lot of the rancid chicken which had now sat not only the 3 days on the counter but another day in the summer heat. By the next day she was extrememly sick and long story short, 6 days hospitalization, 2 seperate phone calls from the doc saying he thought he would lose her and about 1500 later. She did make it but it was the chicken that made her so sick she spent 6 days beyond sick and we almost lost her. She was a Shelty.
