Baby-Proofing

Baby proofing your homes applies even to puppies. 
Paddy Wag nibbled on a bar of rat poison sometime between last night and this morning.
We called the Animal Poison hotline and then took her to the vet. 
(This is Paddy Wag, enjoying having her neck scratched).
 She spent the day at the vet. Vet said she will be fine. 
We'll be doing some medicine taking for the next week. 
She is not supposed to be doing any jumping, running, or anything strenuous for a little while. 

I'm hoping the family member would move all her stuff in the porch to the storage soon.
That way, the porch will stay empty, except for some furniture, for Paddy Wag. 
It just didn't occur to me that there would be rat poison out there. 

I guess, I will be running without Paddy Wag tomorrow.

  6. Yikes! Glad he is ok. My Flash would eat just about anything...never anything poisonous, though. I think it is a Lab thing.
