| I would defiantly make sure you're very clear on the dangers of these plants to their new owner. Or give them to someone w/o dogs. |

| I can certainly understand your thoughts on this. If it were me, I would have those trees destroyed and disposed of. I can't believe anyone who owns a dog would even want to take a chance after hearing your story. Hey...I'll come stand outside the garden centers with you! For plants that are as toxic as this one, there should be warnings on them! Hugs to you and prayers for Chloe's continued recovery!

| Destroy the tree! I know I posted above about warning the people about the trees and then going ahead and giving the trees to them if they were still interested. Well....somehow I missed how dangerous these Sego Palms are and just how sick Baby Chloe was/is. I have done a total turnaround and would also recommend that the trees be totally destroyed. If they drop ball like things then Chizzie would have been a goner - Thank you for sharing your story, I would have never known about the dangers of the Sago Palm |

| Poisonous palms??? I live in the north so we don't have palms, what do they look like? and what part is poisonous? Also do they have them as house plants? I would love to have palm trees in my yard oh well we all wish for what we can't have

| I would have a ritual bonfire. (I know, extreme, but hey) I would burn them and then burn the ashes. If someone asked me why, I would tell them the story. If they STILL wanted the palms, I would just explain that this ritual is a closure thing for me, and they could just go buy their own somewhere. IMHO [My neighbors think I'm crazy anyway. ] Bless your heart. We're continuing to pray for baby Chloe, and we're so glad to see that she's improving every day.
