Sweeteners
George wants to bark out about this one.
Please read
We are members of WELTAF which stands for Welsh Terriers and Friends, they have an on line forum that you can post on.
I&R one the members posted this
"I had never heard of this, but over Easter a young local girl asked permission to give a neighbour's dog a bit of cake which she herself had baked. She had used an artificial sweetener in it called Xylitol, which in Europe is apparently made from birch chips. It is becoming more common it seams.
Well to cut a long story short, the neighbour's dog almost immediately started vomiting, became very lethargic, was taken within an hour or so to the vet, and ended up on a drip over Easter at one of the animal hospitals in London.
Sadly he did not pull through.
Although this is a natural substance, it seems it can cause catastrophic lowering of blood sugar and liver failure in dogs"
We have been checking this out on the internet, we are not here to claim or scare anyone, so have put some Links for you to check out.
"Thanks I&R for letting us quote you on this post. we hope no more dogs accidently suffer or die from ingesting Xylitol"

A Basket
"George what's wrong?"
"Looks OK to me"
"I thought it would be a dog basket!!"
"Don't be so ungrateful, Mom made it on that basket making course she went on with Auntie Rose and friends, we can use it for something"
"The way Mom told me it would be a dog basket, you can't even swing a cat in that!"
"See its makes a good toy basket George"
"Hang on that's not your toy Tess!!"
There's just no pleasing some dogs!
Mom didn't take any photo's of her making this basket but
Auntie Rose has a full blog post up about the day they all spent together.
Thanks Auntie Rose

George has had confirmation he is to be in a magazine, we can't tell you just yet as we are waiting for it to come through our letter box before it goes out to folks.
Just a little clue you have to be a member to receive it, if you look at the last blog post you might work out what magazine it is.
"George can I tell them or are you going to tell them"
"No you can tell them"
Its my 1st Birthday on the 16th May, and I share it with Mom.
Dad says he will take us out somewhere special, hope it doesn't mean I have to go in that Roo carrier!!
