TIP TIME, or really, a reminder plus something new...remember, chocolate and anti-freeze are two commonplace things around the house that can mean DEATH to your dog. And a new one...it was just reported to me that a dog ate a pound of raisins recently and died the next day of kidney failure. Remember...they rely on us to keep them out of this kind of trouble.

Bull Terrier Patsy Ann, stone deaf from birth, somehow managed to "hear" the whistles of ships approaching the harbor in Juneau, Alaska, and never missed greeting them during her 1929-1942 life. Today, her statue still greets visitors as they disembark their cruise ships. "Patsy Ann's Charming Tale"

The Straight Poop about DOG HEALTH
