Pets do die. It is a sad fact of life. What isn’t fact is how your little friend might’ve passed on. Sure you can attribute it to old age or God forbid an accident. But what if the latter wasn’t the case? What if some raging psycho off’d your pooch because the barking kept him up at night? Sure, the obvious premeditated stuff is easy to tell like a BB gun or a hit & run. However there are plenty of other less obvious smoking guns...like poisons. And remember, you’re dealing with a dog here. Some of the most common household items may be harmless to you, but could easily be poochie poison. Stuff like…
ACETAMINOPHEN (found in Tylenol)
Symptoms: Diarrhea, shortness of breath, and dark colored urine.
CHOCOLATE

***BONUS***
RAT POISON

True story, my sister had a dog who got a hold of a bottle of ibuprofen. It didn't die but it puked purple everywhere. So I guess you can call that attempted suicide.
ReplyDeleteI am aspiring to be a pet detective so these clues help me out.
ReplyDeleteThat is so depressing. I once was blamed for killing my neighbor's dog. I swear I didn't do this, but they said I left their gate open while they were away on vacation and someone saw me do that... their dog was hit by a car. I swear this was not my fault.

Thanks. There has been a stray dog following me on my runs and then camping out on my porch and howling to the top of his lungs. I know just the solution now.

I am so over protective of my dogs...I worry about them getting into shit the minute I leave the room. I am not on guard for even more...thanks!
ReplyDeleteMarijuana...
ReplyDeleteI know all about that one. Back in the day a friend got his dog high of marijuana, and then the dog choked on chili-cheese fritos...
The people of North America have little idea of religion, but they have strict public morality. The Latin people are without morality but they are highly religious.
