This is really incredible and who would think about this in their home as being a danger to their PETS ? I just got this from Tricia in an email - Thank you girl !!

it talks about curious dogs getting their tongues mangled in the Auto On function of a paper shredder. Any one with small kids would already be careful I hope ...but dogs are getting hurt too. The way to be safe is to UNPLUG the shredder and only plug it in when it's in use
