| Poisoned Hot Dogs Thought I would post this on here.....we were just discussing this morning, why some of us are so fearful and cautious about allowing our dogs out in public places....this is a real good reason!!! Even on a leash, they can walk along and "vacumn" up food morsels tainted with poison by some crazy pervert. "ATTENTION: Today a client brought in these pieces of hot dog that were placed around front lawns in Des Plaines. They are hot dogs that have been injected with rat poison. Everybody knows that you do not need to put rat poison in hot dogs for rats to eat it. It pains me to say it, but the creep that put these out was trying to harm dogs. PLEASE be careful when walking your pets. Dogs pick up so many things before we can even catch them, so just please remember that people are horrible and that the outside ground unfortunately cannot always be trusted. PLEASE SHARE IF YOU LIVE IN CHICAGO OR SURROUNDING SUBURBS." |

| Hot dogs Thank you for the info. What a horrible thing to do. When we take our dogs outside for walks we have to watch like hawks for bad bits on the ground. If not caught quickly a sniff can end up with eating something! |

| That is why when I walk Cody I am watching EVERYTHING the sky, woods, behind me to make sure a big dog is not following us as has happened in the past, watch the road ahead of me to make sure nothing is there, I seldom walk Cody at the edge of grass because I can't see what may be lying there. Several years ago when I had Matese I was walking towards my car with her, I saw her snatch something up, because she was such a gentle girl I was able to open her mouth with PRYING it open, it was chicken wing bones, a cat must have gotten from some ones trash and was eating it on my driveway. One needs to be every watchful when our pups are outside.

| There was a similar situation around here. There was some sicko leaving out some poisoned food for dogs to eat. Unfortunately, I don't think the person was ever caught. My heart goes out to those families that lost their dogs b/c of mentally ill ppl like these. |

| These thugs that live next door to me....juvenile delinquents since jr high school, with a cop for a father....threw fish hooks in my back yard along with "meat balls"....I had no way to prove they threw that over the fence or what was in those meat balls but I am sure it was a poison of some kind....and of course little treble hooks in a tiny yorkie mouth would be disastrous....these are the same thugs that shoot out car windows, smash mail boxes, knock boards loose on the fence so the little dogs can run out, got caught setting the elementary school right down the street, on fire......my babies never leave my sight, even in my own back yard, and I keep them right up in the yard area by the patio/back door. My uncle had a little beagle, Sparky, that got into strychnine poison at their lake house...someone had baited meat to kill what ever ate the meat...they got precious little Sparky.... |
