    Miss Maggie,
    That list of forbidden foodables is so long. Boo hoo. But the noms that one CAN consume in safety make up for it. Apples, sweet taters, green beans, boxer heads! Oops. Not the last one. Hehehe.

    It is nice to have a refresher on what we can and cannot have. We see we can have a lot more things then our Mom is giving us. We hope she wrote the good things down that we can have. Sniffs, The HoundDogs

    P.S...What is the reason behind not having GRAPES, I have a friend that feeds their dog grapes and I am like you can't do that but could not explain why they were bad for his dog.

    Awesome post, Maggie! Since you have Lab cousins, you probably know that they are like vacuum cleaners when any food is left around that is even remotely reachable by a dog. I've had to call the ASPCA poison line more than once, and they were incredibly helpful.

    A good thing to have around the house is hydrogen peroxide for inducing vomiting. Yes, I've had to do this unpleasant thing!

    Thanks so much for posting this list. I had no idea avocado, walnuts and grapes were bad! I think I may have eaten a few in my day, but I sure won't do it again. I will also be sure to post the foods that we can eat for my mom.

    Your pal, Pip
