Another cautionary tale

Reading the Washington Post online—as one does—I came across a very worrying story in the column, Hints from Heloise. There is this Labrador called Jack who ate lots and lots of plums in his mum’s garden and got very sick. Turns out that the stones you find in plums—and peaches, and nectarines, and many other fruits—contain strychnine and, if you eat too many of them, a puppy can die!

So, once again, please be very careful about what your puppy eats. If you want to read Jack’s story, follow this link. Hints From Heloise

Speaking of newspapers, my blog is now famous, apparently. That’s because The Nation, the leading paper in Barbados, has written about it! Well, I suppose it was only a matter of time…
