Latest Group Announcement
ADOPT A FRIEND
Hello all my fellow Pet Lovers...I know that many of us are proud parents of shelter and rescue animals. I would like to encourage anyone who is thinking of a new pet to check out both rescue groups (for breed specific dogs and cats) and your local shelters. In these depressed economic times, the animals suffer, too. Most shelters are full or filling fast with animals who just need someone to give them a chance at a happy life. It has been my experience that these animals make wonderful, grateful companions and give back so much more than you can imagine. So, if you are thinking of adding a new pet, please consider these guys who really just need a chance. If you cannot give a home to a shelter animal then please support your local shelters with time, money and/or supplies. Oh, and don't forget to have you pets spayed or neutered.
Love to all,
Cindy and Scot

Warning...You May Save A Life
This was recently sent to me...
This was checked out on Snopes and it is true.
Warning to all dog owners -
Please pass this on to everyone you can:
Last Friday evening, I arrived home from work, fed Chloe, our 24 Lb. dachshund, just as I normally do. Ten minutes later I walked into the
den just in time to see her head inside the pocket of Katie's friend's purse. She had a guilty look on her face so I looked closer and saw a small package of
sugar-free gum. It contained xylitol. I remembered that I had recently read that sugar-free gum can be deadly for dogs so I jumped on line and looked to
see if xylitol was the ingredient. I found the first website below and it was the one.
Next, I called our vet. She said to bring her in immediately.
Unfortunately, it was still rush hour and it took me almost 1/2 hour to get there. Meanwhile, since this was her first case, our vet found another
website to figure out the treatment. She took Chloe and said they would induce her to vomit, give her a charcoal drink to absorb the toxin (even though
they don't think it works) then they would start an IV with dextrose. The xylitol causes dogs to secrete insulin so their blood sugar drops very quickly.
The second thing that happens is liver failure. If that happens, even with aggressive treatment, it can be difficult to save them. The vet told us
she would call us.
Almost two hours later, the vet called and said that contents of her stomach contained 2-3 gum wrappers and that her blood sugar had dropped
from 90 to 59 in 30 minutes. She wanted us to take Chloe to another hospital that has a critical care unit operating around the clock. We picked her up and
took her there. They had us call the ASPCA poison control for a case number and for a donation, their doctors would direct Chloe's doctor on treatment. They
would continue the IV, monitor her blood every other hour and then in 2 days test her liver function. She ended up with a central line in her jugular
vein since the one in her leg collapsed, just as our regular vet had feared.
Chloe spent almost the entire weekend in the critical care hospital. After her blood sugar was stabilized, she came home yesterday. They ran all
the tests again before they released her and so far, no sign of liver damage. Had I not seen her head in the purse, she probably would have died and we
wouldn't even have known why.
Three vets told me this weekend, that they were amazed that I even knew about it since they are first learning about it too. Please tell everyone you know about xylitol and dogs. It may save another life.

Possible Reasons Why Cats Eat Plants
Plant eating may have some survival benefit to cats and thus be genetic. The purpose of the activity is thought to be to supply dietary fiber, which may or may not assist with certain digestive processes. Dietary fiber is obtained when cats eat the intestinal contents of small prey animals.
Toxic plants, like Easter lilies, Oleander and Dieffenbachia,should not be around your cat. Easter lilies may trigger kidney failure; Oleander can cause cardiovascular problems; and Dieffenbachia species can cause tongue swelling and inflammation and sloughing of the wall of the intestinal tract. The list of plants that could cause problems is long but not all toxic plants are common houseplants or even attractive to cats.
In bringing a new plant into a house where there is a cat it is best to check the plant's potential toxicity first.
