Important Post

 I'm sure that many dogs get sick every Thanksgiving because well meaning guests slip the begging pooch some pumpkin pie or a turkey leg.  Please, if you have a dog or will be going to someones house who has a dog, take a second to read this post.  If you won't be around any dogs, read the next post down to learn how not to increase the size of your derriere.  Here is the top 10 things you should never give your dog on Thanksgiving (or any other day.)  I'm not going to go into detail why, so google it yourself to find out more info.  1.  Turkey Bones; 2.  Raw Turkey;  3. Turkey Skin;  4. Dough and Cake Batter.  (The dough actually can rise inside our stomachs and lead to severe abdominal pain.)  5.  Beer (What?  Do people really give their dogs beer?)  6. Walnuts and Macadamia Nuts;  7. Mushrooms (death!) 8. Sage (central nervous system damage) 9. Onions and garlic; 10. Nutmeg.  Oh, I have to add another one not on the list.  11.  Chocolate.  P.S. And I'm thankful she did not make me be a vegan for more than one day.

Also, the FDA is warning to check your bag of chicken jerky treats. Dozens of new reports of death and severe illness have been reported in dogs chewing on the treats. So far 70 dogs have been sickened eating the sticks imported from China and a few have died.
