My girlfriend has a problem with her young adult boys, leaving unfinished McDonald food in their rooms and on the floor. Her almost 2 year old yorkie still gets into stuff and hence a bout of diarreah or upset tummy still happen..... |
Good advice!
I might also add this story: my son who is an adult went to bed one night and left an unfinished drink (had vodka in it) sitting on his coffee table. He woke up to a sick yorkie who is 11 years old. Bailey had jumped up on the coffee table and finished the drink and had to be rushed to the vet. Thankfully, after being at the vet all day on fluids, he was fine. I don't think we ever should let our guard down with these pups.
