Thanks, but its not really me being smart LOL

These same stories circulated through my bunko yahoo group not too long ago, and I looked it up back then, so when I saw them again, I remembered. There are several versions of this one out there.

Thank you for sharing your story about the little yorkie...This did happen to someone you know, and I am very sorry for their loss. Thanks for reminding everyone about the dangers of cleaning products and our babies.

I think the difference is that the cleaning fluid used on the floor isnt harmful but if she chewed on the pad they probably have some of those beads that absorb moisture in them and they can be deadly. Please do not leave mop pads where they can get to them.

Dear MistyInca:

Thanks! I love my swifters to clean up Max's messes. He had been trying to pull the wet pad off of the base. That's dangerous. He thought it was a great game. Had I not been watching, he certainly could have choked on it. I throw them out right away and my garbage cans have good covers.

You do have to be really careful, but there's nothing in a swifter to kill a dog according to the ASPCA site.
