The rule at my house "if it did not come from Mom's hand then it doesnt go in the dog". About 10yrs ago my husband had done briskets on the smoker,one of our poodles got UNDER the smoker after sundown and ate some of the drippings. He had only been in the yard 10min,so it wasnt much. Within an hour the lil guy was almost dead from his pancreous shutting down. My husband rushed me,dog and daughter that dog belonged to, to the ER vet. He almost passed out when I told him it would be $1000 and 3 days in the hospital. We did not have the $$ at the time,it was shortly after purchasing Christmas for 6 kids and the rest of the family. The shocked look on his face went away when I told him that HE could explain to his daughter that we could not save her baby and he dug the funds up. Now there is a pan under the smoker,Ive seen him wipe the ground around the pan just to make sure. He watches our house guests to make sure that they dont give anything to the dogs.
I am so glad that your baby is ok. Personally I would of flipped the light on and woke the guy up,especially if I wasnt sleeping because someone else caused me worry. Thats just me. |
