To get to the body shop!
Halloween is here and we have a lot of fun dressing our pets in costumes - sometimes even the dogs like it. :-)
One thing to be aware of, the sugar free treats should be kept away from your dogs. Specifically, the gum and candy containing Xylitol. It is most commonly found in "Orbit" gum, but in other gums and hard candies that are sugar free.
What happens is the dog's body does not realize it is not sugar, and their body mistakenly drops the blood sugar to dangerous levels, and many dogs have to be on IV sugar solutions for 24 - 48 hours .
On another interesting note, Nonprofit research group called Healthystuff.org found that 50% of tennis balls contain detectable lead levels. Balls intended for pets were much more likely to contain lead, while sport tennis balls contained none!

And Joe had this additional observation about the skeleton:
Why did the skeleton not ask his girlfriend to marry him?
He didn't have the guts!
See you online next week. :-)
