Imagine coming home from work

to find this tiny creature napping on your

couch with your dog?

This little fawn followed the beagle home,

right through the doggy door!

This happened just recently in Maryland.

The owner came home to find the visitor

had made himself right at home.

It is reported that the dog’s name is Rusty.

Apparently he is just a dumb lovable beagle

who loves to track slow but steady rabbits but

has probably never seen one.  His only enemies

in life are chipmunks.

This was a big hit on the 6 o’clock news.

 

Foods That Can Poison Your Dog
 

A piece of chocolate can cause seizures, coma and death.
Even a small piece of chocolate is dangerous.
Anything containing caffeine can have a similar effect and be
as dangerous as chocolate, and that includes coffee grounds,
tea, and tea bags.

Grapes and raisins can cause kidney failure and even a single
serving of raisins can kill your dog.

Excessive salt intake can also cause kidney problems.

Onions can cause anemia by destroying red blood cells while
tomatoes can cause tremors and heart arrhythmias.
Tomato plants are particularly toxic to dogs.

Avocados are also highly toxic and can cause breathing difficulty
and fluid accumulation around the abdomen chest and heart.

When giving your dog bones ensure that they are raw as cooked
bones can splinter and damage their internal organs.

Excessive fat can cause pancreatitis, so it is not wise to
feed your dog a diet of fatty foods.

Fried foods also fall into this category and are not good to
retain maximum health in your dog.

Certain nuts, such as Macadamia nuts and walnuts can cause
weakness and muscle tremors.
Peanut butter however is generally okay provided you use the
salt and sugar free peanut butter as sugar can encourage
cancer growth.

The core and pits of fruits such as Apple’s cherries and peaches
contain cyanide, which is poisonous to dogs and can kill them
within 24-hours without warning.

If in doubt, always refrain from feeding your dog foods that
we are eating assuming that they will be okay.
What is safe for humans can kill your dog within hours
