Im so sorry for your loss and wanted to thank you for warning us. awhile back we was buying this sticky seed stuff for birds and I noticed when the birds ate it they would get it all over the ground. and well I stopped buying it b/c My dogs would run out that way and I know how they eat every thing they could and I noticed that a lot of the seeds in side the bird feeders was molding . I cleaned them all out and refilled them and hung them around the other side of the house. Now I can show my Hubby this and maybe show him how luckey we was that we did move them.

How smart of you to recognize the danger. These little guys will eat anything!

I really didnt think of the dangers I just thought they might get a belly ache from it.

Alaska Yorkie,
I love your pictures! Running, jumping, racing around - great pictures! If I tried that, they'd be a BLLLUUURRR! Yes, I've learned we have to watch out for anything and everything ... as terriers, they are such feisty little dogs ... but so small to be very vulnerable! LOVE YOUR ACTION PICTURES!

Thank you, chipperdancing! There are so many horror stories out there about good owners losing yorkies. I'd give anything to know Eddie will live a full, complete life. But there's only so much you can do. After that, fate or whatever you want to call it, takes over.

Just wanted to join in and send thanks. Sometimes I feel so overwhelmed that I just can't protect this pup enough! So many dangers and they are so small, so fast and so inquisitive.

Oh how tragic. I never would have even thought about it being a danger before and now will warn others of it. I am sooooo sorry for your loss. Thank you for being generous enough to warn others of this danger while in your time of distress.

I'm so sorry for your loss. I certainly appreciate you posting this important health threat to our babies!

chipperdancing · 10-24-2005, 05:24 PM

Yes, they are quick and inquisitive ... and also glutons! My Vet calls it, "Indiscriminate Eaters" ... he's polite! LOL

I also want to that the Owner/Breeders who added to my warning, especially about MOLDY BIRDSEED THE BIRDS KICK TO THE GROUND and Shireyak wrote: not only can the suet become rancid, but also several of the seeds are toxic to dogs.........I think millet and milo

After I lost my baby Yorkie, I no longer feed birds in my yard ... it's just not worth it ... and I don't feed them outside my yard either, I don't want to sicken any other dogs, or cats, or raccoons ... whatever ...
