I just want to share that every one of you reading this should print the list of toxic foods and plants for dogs, put it on your fridge, read and re-read till you memorize.

It has taken me awhile to be able to share this story, but I just want to say, heed the warnings and just because your baby doesn't have a reaction this time doesn't mean they won't next time. Just like us illness, sensitivities and allergies can come gradually suddenly and always unexpectedly.

One day my Miss Mini was lethargic and very very ill. I rushed her to the vets, they immediately started IV's, bloodwork etc. As Miss Mini's health declined in the ICU of the hospital I was in the room with the vet trying to figure out what happened to my baby. I couldn't come up with anything as there was nothing different.

My vet then asked me to start telling her from the moment I got up the day before until I found Miss Mini every detail of what I did and where Mini was...when I got to the end she went back through what I said and asked questions, I was sure she didn't get in to anything, food every thing was exactly the same as always. Then I said "Kim, I'm telling you last night she was fine, playing and having a blast while I threw grapes and she chased them and ate them....." She said "grapes?" I said yeah, she said about how many? I said exactly 5 and I know that for sure because each night I have 8 grapes and half a bananna. (I am diabetic) and I knew that it was only 5 cuz I was annoyed that I only had 3...

My Miss Mini was in ICU for 4 days and almost died. At that time Miss Mini weighed 7.5 pounds and 5 grapes almost killed her. They were the little green grapes...needless to say, I NEVER have grapes in the house and have very few of those things on the TOXIC LIST in my house. I use nothing that isn't safe for people and pets, because you never know when a reaction can happen.

Please people, take the list seriously and believe me it can be a very small amount.

p.s. (I miss raisins in my cereal)
