| Another reminder along the same lines as this is to make sure two of the commands you teach your dog are "DROP IT" and "LEAVE IT" because those commands can save a life and have many times over. They are easy to teach and it is important to take the time to reinforce it as often as you can so that if you or someone else ever drops something you can prevent your baby form gobbling it up quickly. If anyone wants instructions on how to teach either of these plese PM me and I will provide detailed instructions. |

one time - I dropped a hormone pill and literally scopped up all 3 of my dogs in one swoop and put them outside while I looked - it was right on the table in front of my nose - but you should have seen the expressions of the girls looking in at me - like "WHAT IS HER PROBLEM...and why are we LOCKED OUT" ? The drop it command is great to know but the whole point is NOT TO HAVE ANY OF THIS STUFF OUT - a Pill is very hard for a dog to drop - they stick to the inside of their mouths and will disolve by the time you can get it out. | |

so worried. I have to wrap any pill I give Crystal in 7 lbs of balony to get her to take it....but that would just be the one if I didn't find it.

| You are so right Villette!! Just yesterday Mandy jumped up on the counter and ran off with the Tums!!!! I'm so glad I saw her, because she would have ran outside to eat them all. She's a big furbaby,being a Rottie, so yesterday was clean off all the counters day! A great reminder for all V!!!

| I totally agree with you. I had one dog that routinely checked my coat pockets and purse for anything she mght like (she was always smelling lifesavers). And, she also routinely checked all the wastepaper baskets in the house. This is another thing to keep an eye on. Carol Jean |

| Here, anything dangerous gets thrown away in the trash compactor. That way, it is impossible for any animal to get to it.

| I know how the whole "leaving the purse down" can be, Pebbles, for some reason LOVES to get in my purse, I don't ever carry medicines, but she did get to my candy (I usually carry mints) and ufff I was so scared! ... and another thing you should watch for that happened to me with Pebbles, of course, ... I made myself a sandwich for lunch, and Chris, my husband wasn't coming home for lunch, so I decided to eat at the bed, well, I made my sandwich, set in on the nightstand, then remembered that I had to put my clothes in the washer so I went and when I got back she has ate the top part of my sandwich (the top bread) ... ufff, once again I was so scared!!! so never again ... I mean nothing happened to her in any of those 2 incidents, but I learned from my mistakes ... and now I am more careful ... they don't have to be hungry to eat human food, the smell gets in their little noses and they'll go for it!!! be very careful with your babies

| I have an inside zippered pocket in my purse and I keep all medications zipped in that pocket. Loki loves to snoop. Any suggestions for getting hubby to not leave his pants (with full pockets) on the floor and change on the bedside table? I can just see Loki stealing a quarter.

I don't think a yorkie would try to eat coins but I could be very wrong....I guess if I were you - I'd raid his pockets and keep what I find for myself ! | |

| Thanks for the reminder. I have a few of my medications in a drawer in the cabinet of my bathroom. She stays in the bathroom while I'm at work. She hasn't learned to open the cabinet, but what if she learns to do that one day. I need to be sure to move them. I didn't even think about it. |
