Hi, I'm Jme. And I'm Pate. And we're from Motley Zoo Animal Rescue, and this is our podcast Rescue Shit. Today we're gonna talk about some different household common things that, can endanger your dog. Right. And not just household things, but things that you don't think might be poisonous that are actually very harmful for your dog. Like even water. Innocuous things that you wouldn't even think could be a danger. Exactly. We had a litter of dogs like a mother and puppies. We named them after the TV series, the Hacks, and a little puppy, DJ Vance. Very sweet girl. She loved to kiss you. She made out with Mattie Healy from the 1975. I have pictures to prove it. No, seriously, she did. But she actually is our experience with water toxicity. I don't remember exactly what happened but I remember she literally almost died. Yeah, she did. And it was from drinking too much water. It wasn't playing with water, which is what you normally hear of the water toxicity happening. She actually drank too much water when she was out running around and playing with her sister. Both of'em drank a lot of water, but she. I don't know, like if, if she drank twice as much as her sister or whatever, because you turn around and both of'em had swollen bellies because they drank too much. We've been doing rescue for 14 years now. Yeah. And this is the very first time that this has happened. And when we saw her, she acted a little drunk and she wasn't her normal, bouncy, playful self, and she was staggering a little bit and then she became quite lethargic. And almost had seizure-like activity. Oh, wow. Yeah. You had her. Yes. So, you know, you knew what was going on and I remember you telling me about it, but, yeah, we were really, really shocked when they finally figured it out. Didn't we think like liver shunt or something like that? Yeah, it was very Just out of the blue, you know, cuz we'd had her for a while. She was about three months old by then I think. and so it was quite confusing cuz like with the liver shunt, she should have shown more symptoms, been a bit more symptomatic and, I didn't really know what was going on, but I knew something bad was happening. She was vomiting, she lost control of her bladder on me, and that's why I thought, oh no, she's having seizure activity. Yeah. And so, you know, I called the ER of course, because that's what you do. And it was kind of funny cuz they were quite apologetic and they were like, did she get into any pot? And I was like, yeah, no, that didn't happen at all. And they're like, it's okay if it did. But I was like, dude, no, no. And I was like, we do have CBD for the dogs, but it is not in the house. And there's nothing wrong with pot. No but you guys are pretty straight edge here. It's just not in your, in your wheelhouse. Gary's very straight edge. However, after my cancer diagnosis, he did visit a pot store and I think bought hundreds of dollars worth of items for me to deal with my, like, my nausea and pain and everything. So, he's no longer super straight edge, but so, but we don't normally have pot in the house because, you know, I don't have cancer or side effects anymore. Right? Yeah. It's just not your thing. Right? Yeah. Whatever. I'll have some gummies every now and then, it's fine, but whatever. That's besides the point. But they were very, it was very funny because they didn't wanna offend me. Yeah. And when I was, when I told them, no, it's not a possibility whatsoever, they were still like, well, it really does sound like it's, pot toxicity, which is kind of common. But regardless, so like, you know, you need to bring her in. I was like, well, yeah, I'm bringing her in. But they were still in the back of their heads(mm-hmm) thinking that she got into someone's stash, right? Mm-hmm. Until they saw her. And when we got there to the er, before they took her into the back of the room, I told them, I was like, she's gonna vomit. Because you could look at their face, right? Yeah. Yeah. They do that vomit smile. I'm like, dude, she's gonna vomit. No one pays attention to me and I don't know why. And that's why I get to say I told you so all the time. But so she leans over Gary's shoulder like a huge gush and I'm like, wow, that's a lot of water. And I looked at'em and I'm like, see? And Gary got to wear that one as a, he got punished for their, their lack of, interest in listening to you. Right? Yeah. Cuz it was right in the middle of the lobby, so they had to do cleanup. Right. So I was trying to like, help them avoid that, but nonetheless. Mm-hmm. And then she actually did stay overnight and her symptoms were very much like a toxic effect. And they finally diagnosed with all of her blood work, stabilizing her, everything like that, that she suffered from water toxicity. Well, they found out in the blood work there was definitely no pot in her system. And you were telling the truth. Yeah. But yeah, I mean, did they just rule everything else out or like what specifically led them to the water diagnosis? There was some, now I gotta research this. There was something in the blood work mm-hmm. That was off. Like diluted. Yes. Or something. Mm-hmm. That did show them most likely that it was the water. Mm-hmm. And the fact that she was vomiting water all over the place. Yeah. That's really weird and scary and not common. No. But this is why it's really important(yeah) to make sure your dogs have water, access to water all the time so they don't gorge when they get water. And when they're playing, I noticed at the daycare, going to the water bucket is kind of like a thing to do. It's not necessarily that they're thirsty. Mm-hmm. It's like they play, play, play, and then they're like, oh, let's go over by the water bucket. And it's like, it's just another outlet for them. Mm-hmm. And so, you know, you would need to watch that and make sure that no one's super gorging themselves. Right. And then like you said, if you keep the water from them, they're going to gorge more. Yeah. Definitely make sure that there's water available and if your dog does seem to be drinking a lot(mm-hmm) chances are it's more likely a kidney problem or something like that. Or diabetes. Yeah. Which you need to get taken care of. But probably unlikely that they're gonna have toxicity from it because their body's processing it differently. Mm-hmm. So, yeah. But it does happen. And she was actually fine the next day, after they stabilized her. That's good. Yeah. So here's something weird that I don't think a lot of people would know, but it's actually a relatively common problem. And it's a potato chip bag. Yes. Or you know, cracker bag or any of those kinds of things because the dog goes through the garbage, they pull something like that out, it gets stuck on their head and then they suffocate. Right. Because as they breathe, the bag closes in on'em. Yeah. It sucks in and they can't get it off. And we actually do know someone whose dog died that way. Yeah. And they were terribly devastated. They were coming to us for a new dog and they told us about what happened and you know, obviously we didn't hold that against them. That was not a neglectful thing. That's a weird, weird, unusual thing, but, but it is actually somewhat common. Yeah. And it's not that weird and unusual, but it's something that people don't think about. Yeah. But I mean, we even have a flyer... Yes. That we hand out(mm-hmm) when we do adoptions about it, because it's such an unknown thing, but it, it could really happen at any time. So it's really important that the garbage is secured and, or your, you know, dog is in a crate or, you know, you cut those bags up so that they can't stick their head in them and not get it off. Right. There are milk cartons now the, the, the, they're not, they're paper. The paper. Mm-hmm. Like wax paper cartons. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So true story. I had basenjis right? So, until my, my last one passed away and, and Gary said, no more Basenjis. And I love Basenjis, I love them so much. But anyway, So in Florida it's very common for people to have pools, right? And you don't think about things like that. And, accidents happen in pools all the time, especially the in ground pools and which is why the insurance companies want you to have the fencing or, or whatnot. But anyway, so true story:. a Basenji got her head. Because she got in the garbage. She wasn't crated. They went to work and they had their door open to the pool area and their pool was not safely enclosed or, or whatnot. And she got her head in a milk carton and fell in the pool. Oh, no. So, while a milk carton is not as dangerous, per se, as a chip bag where you don't need a pool to, to help expedite that. Yeah. You really have to think about what you throw in your garbage, right? And how to secure your garbage. It's kind of like, you know, the plastic, yeah. Rings. The six pack rings that you cut up so that the birds and, and other animals don't eat them. I cut them into tiny bits. Exactly. I'm always cutting the, the plastic rings as well. But you have to think about things that you put in your garbage that your dog can get into and that your dog can possibly get injured by, which is, you know, the chip bag can be fatal, but even, you know, if you get a milk carton and they run into the wall, they run on the furniture, fall off the furniture. Mm-hmm. You could have, I mean, hopefully no damage, but depending on the size of the dog, a leg injury or even a back injury if they fall. Yeah. And start like flailing and tweaking. Right. Yeah. Yeah. It's, that is one I've never heard before, but I believe that it is, scary. So a lot of people also might not know that grapes are really not good for your dog and it's because whatever toxin is in the skin, I think it is, it actually, it's fat soluble, so it stays in their body and builds up over time. So if you give them grapes, too often, I mean, you shouldn't do it at all. Mm-hmm. But it's not like you give them the grape, they metabolize it and you're done. Every grape you give them is. Leading up to a bigger and bigger problem, Right. The thing with the grapes and reasons, and they don't know why really, but they, can cause rapid kidney failure. Wow. Yeah. And then sometimes you can forget cuz you're like, you've got some trail mix. Well, hopefully you're not giving them the chocolate from the trail mix. But I mean, cookies have raisins. I mean, keep'em away from your Raisin bran alright because raisins are even more toxic than the grapes because they're almost like concentrated grapes. Mm-hmm. And some dogs, even just a few grapes, can cause kidney failure and have them be hospitalized. Raisins, you meant a few raisins. What did I say? Grapes? Yes. Raisins. Raisins. Even a couple raisins. Right, cuz it's concentrated grapes. So you mentioned chocolate before. That's probably one that a lot of people know about, right? But what exactly happens and why is that one a big one? Well, so it's not all chocolate, right? It depends on the content of the. I don't even... The cacao. I was gonna say, am I gonna even say it right? The ca The kawakawa. Kaka. But how kind of word is that? I know, I know. But that's what you're doing. That's, that's where your chocolate comes from. Is from this, is it a bean? Yes. I don't even know. Maybe I should, I really need to research before we talk, talk about stuff. Well, it's not good for any dogs, but some dogs it's like people being allergic to bee stings. You know, nobody likes being stung and anyone can go into anaphylactic shock if you get stung enough. But some people are super allergic to bees and the same thing is for chocolate. Dogs can be super, super allergic and super reactive of it. And other dogs, you know, can eat a whole box of chocolate and be completely fine other than some diarrhea usually. Right. But it really depends on that content of the cacao because you can have milk chocolate. Very low cacao content. Right? But then you've got... The super dark chocolates. Yeah. Good thing. I don't like dark chocolate, but... So this actually sadly happened to one of the first few dogs that we adopted out. It was a chocolate Lab, sadly, ironically. And they had had a campfire the night before and the kids left the, s'more stuff out and the dog went down to the fire pit. And ate Hershey's, which is milk chocolate. Yeah. And you know, I mean, there couldn't have been that much that it ate, but, but the dog totally died. Hmm. Well, I mean, was it a, a bar of it? I don't know how much. Yeah. But, but I remember thinking it seemed like a small amount for a lab to eat(mm-hmm) and die from. Well, I mean, but they also have. Like dark chocolate Hershey, and like, did the Hershey have almonds in it? Like... Yeah. I don't, I don't think so, but, they just called me to tell me. Mm-hmm. Because they, they felt so bad and they were upset and they hadn't had'em for too long either, but... Oh, that's horrible. But it was, yeah, it was really awful. And obviously we were so sad for them. Right. Yeah. I mean, but like I said, you really have to look at your content, right? Because, the cacao the higher, the percentage, the higher content of the cacao is the higher the toxicity level, but the probability(mm-hmm) of a fatality from your chocolate is lessened by the percentage of that cacao. You know what's interesting is that my grandmother used to give her dogs, peanut m and ms as a treat every day, That's milk chocolate. Every day. Damn. And one time she had some in her sweater pocket and he smelled them. And so he, he sucked and sucked and sucked on the sweater pocket until he sucked all the chocolate and candy out. And all that was left in her pocket was the peanuts. But yeah, so when I was older and I found out that chocolate is bad for dogs(mm-hmm) I was like, holy shit. We were giving him that every day. Yeah. And another thing that can cause issues with dogs and, and sometimes require hospitalization are onions and garlic and, you know, and leaks, which is part of the onion family. So I, I guess stay away from any oniony. Oniony. That would be be chives too. I don't know. No, they're onions. Are they? Yeah. Okay. So the thing is, is like onions can actually damage or like injure, for lack of a better word, like red blood cells and cause hemolytic anemia and that is going to you know, require hospitalization. Mm-hmm. Do you know what the symptoms of that are? No. Okay. Yeah, that was a dumb question to ask without having some research back us up. So another thing that people really might not know about is xylitol, and that is the artificial sweetener, I should say. Mm-hmm. That is in, sugarless gum. A lot of Sugarless candies, a lot of diabetic products, and it is just super toxic for them. It's actually in your toothpaste as well. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. So a lot of things that you may not even think that you would put xylitol in. Like, seriously, do we really need... Sweet toothpaste? Right? Yeah. I mean, just add mint right? Whatever. I don't understand why you have xylitol in your toothpaste, but nonetheless, a lot of toothpaste has xylitol in it. So you really have to look at your ingredients of things that you have, because xylitol will drop their blood sugar so quickly and it can be fatal. Yeah. And even peanut butter, a lot of people don't think about peanut butter. Like, seriously, why do you need xylitol on your peanut butter? Right? Yeah. It's weird that most peanut butters on the shelf are not just peanuts and oil and salt. Right. You have to look really hard to find one that is in almost every peanut butter has some kind of sugar in it. Mm-hmm. And palm oil, by the way. Which, which I try and avoid. Yeah. Cause we like orangutans. Yes. Yes. it's in a lot of things that you don't think about and thankfully there's kind of a, a more of an awareness coming about with this one. And it's becoming more common to talk about, to know about. But you know, you just put your purse down and your dog goes in your purse and gets your gum out. Mm-hmm. And it, that could be enough to kill them. We recently had someone that we know. And it wasn't an adopter of ours because I always tell the adopters about xylitol. But someone we know Easter, Easter candy. Oh yeah. And, um, and normally when you think of Easter candy, chocolate, but I don't know what candy had xylitol on it, but it did. And, that dog was rushed to the er. That dog fortunately survived. And the person was shocked. She never heard of it. And what I said to her on her Instagram, because she was just telling everyone, she's like, oh my God, I didn't even know this. Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. And so she was trying to spread awareness to her friends, right? And so I said, Another thing is that when you look at the ingredients, you may not see xylitol because now they're calling xylitol birch sugar. Oh, and that's great. Yes. B I R C H Sugar. That is xylitol. Oh, why, why would they do that? Because they wanna make it sound more natural? I guess. But yeah, to the detriment of many, many animals. Mm-hmm. I didn't know that part, so that's good to know. Mm-hmm. I mean, I like real sugars in my thing, so like, even my soda, I prefer the mountain dew with real sugar as opposed to the corn syrup. Yeah. As opposed to zero or whatever. Oh, I, yeah. I can't do that. Gimme my sugar. Yeah, sugar. Sugar, that's a good song. I remember, a lot of people get coffee grounds or cocoa shells(Mm) for their mulch. Mm. And that can actually be toxic for your dog. So the coffee and caffeine. Yeah. So make sure that you're not getting those things, if you have dogs, because if they decide to eat them, that, that could be really dangerous. Oh yeah. That caffeine. Well, and especially cuz a lot of people like the dark color. Oh yeah. But you have to get wood that's dyed like that color instead of the coffee or the cocoa. Right. And then, well, I mean the, the coffee grounds, like people, the reason why people use it is cuz it, it's nutrient rich. Yeah. For the soil. But if you're doing it around your dogs, I mean, the, the caffeine causes heart arrhythmias and seizures, and it's just not worth it. No. So sometimes plants, house plants, even outdoor plants, can be toxic for dogs and cats. I know we focus mostly on dogs but typically because. Dogs are more scavengers and, you know, likely to get in the garbage, likely to ingest obstructions. But the plants are something that, you know, you never know what they're gonna get into. And, I think probably one of the most common ones everybody knows of is at Christmas the poinsettias. Yes. Obviously I think that one's a pretty common understanding, but the amaryllis. People give amaryllis as presents for, Christmas too and... That's a really good song by Shinedown by the way. And then, The Easter lilies(mm-hmm) that Asiatic Lily. The Easter Lilly can be toxic. Right. And that's toxic to both cats and dogs. Yeah. And, and the problem, probably is bigger with cats because cats often eat plants. The indoor ones especially. Yeah. I mean, Tut is always eating some spider plant or something, and, and then he throws up, he, he eats it every time and then he throws up every time. And I mean, thankfully it's not like toxic toxic, but... Right. I don't know why he wants to eat it when it makes him throw up. Why do dogs eat grass and vomit? I don't know. Yeah. One of life's mysteries? Meatball, obsessively kind of eats grass when he's on it. Mm-hmm. So we don't have a lot of grass and mostly he's on concrete at my house. Right. So on the patio, in the back where they go, and then on the balcony it's concrete. Axl's making a mess. Oh, paper. He really wants, he wants to go outside. He can hear Gary outside doing training, and so he's crying about it. He's about to throw on a, a full on toddler temper tantrum. Mm-hmm. In a minute. Well, and then call lilies can be dangerous. And, you know, probably the chances of your dog eating. Those kinds of things outside are pretty, pretty low. And then, rhododendrons, azaleas. That's outside. Yeah. Yeah. They can be a problem. And then... Fox Glove. Yeah, Fox Glove is beautiful and it's really not something that, you know, most dogs would eat, but it is deadly to anyone. People. It's how they make nitroglycerin for, the people that have heart attacks, so it really can mess you up. But they're so pretty and I love'em. Yeah. I mean, they're wild here. Mm-hmm. And as long as you're, you know, pretty careful, then that should be fine. Right. so English ivy actually is, so, so more urban plants are gonna be like your English ivy, your horse chest nuts, your English laurel, and the rhododenrons that you, that you already talked about. But like, if you're hiking, you know, you have to worry about like the Fox glove Yeah. And then Lily of the valley, we have that as well. The toxic effects range from typical stomach upset. To, you know, more like serious and life threatening conditions like seizures instead of just the, the stomach upset of nausea and vomiting, which, you know, is, is never good. No. But at least it's not fatal. You know, obviously mushrooms in the yard. Yeah. We don't know what he got into. Mm-hmm. But my cat, Biki started acting like his eyes were rolling back in his head. And all we could think is maybe somehow, like he got a piece of mushroom or mm-hmm. Like maybe we even stepped on it and brought it in the house or something like that. And I'm sure like, like you, the vet probably thought it was drugs or something. Actually I'm fairly confident they did because it was at like midnight. Mm-hmm. And you know, Bryan and I are punk rock looking and so I'm sure they judged us and thought it was drugs. Right. But I got judged just by my voice cuz I was on the phone. But by the time we got to the vet, he started recovering but he was falling over. Mm-hmm. And eyes rolling in his head and I've never seen anything like it. And by the time we got to the vet, He had recovered. And so I, I don't know what he got into, but he wasn't like a plant eater. Like Tut is. Right. And, Sago Palm is another indoor one. Or you know, a tropical one if you live out in Florida or whatever. Right. Florida, like Florida, you hear a lot about the Sego palms. And, and that is a huge issue and so many people have it and don't even realize it. Yeah. I mean, around here you, you know, you have it cuz you have to have it in your house... They're really cool looking though. I really are. I really like them. Mm-hmm. I've had plants in my house that would be toxic if my animals ate them, but you know, they, they're not near them or, you know, they don't eat them. And so, I mean, you, you have to be careful. But... Yeah, I just. I don't have a green thumb, so, my dogs are in no danger from indoor plants. Yeah. Well you're becoming more of a, of a botanist, living out here now. Well, yeah. You're learning. Well, yeah, cuz I'm like, is that, is that, is that a weed? Do I leave it? I'm like, it's so pretty. That's a weed pull it.. I'm like, ah, really? Because it's kinda pretty. Well, some weeds are pretty and you don't have to pull'em if you don't want to, but... I think it depends. The buttercup you have to pull. I don't care if you like that one. But they are pretty. They are pretty, but they are bad even... But they're not toxic. Horses and cow won't even eat them because Really? Yeah. So if your field gets, buttercup in it, you're screwed. Oh, wow. What about clover? No, they like clover and rabbits like clover. And you know what else likes clover Bees. I thought you were gonna say leprechauns. No. O. O. Only four. Only four clovers. What's that? Four leaf clovers. Only four leaf clovers. But did you know that five leaf clovers are are more rare? Five. Yeah. I've never heard of that. Yeah. And no one got time for four leaf clovers anymore. Now you're looking for five leaf clovers. Everybody's always trying to one up each other. Okay. Actually, the only time I've been stung by a bee was it was a bumblebee that was on clover. Yeah. And I was walking from the pool and I stepped on the bee and he stung me on the toe. Yeah. And I started crying because I knew the bee was gonna die. That was what upset me more than the fact. That it, it stung me, and that's the only time I've ever been stung. Really? Yeah. I, I think I was like seven. Interesting. Yeah. The same. That's, that's the same story as my little brother. We were, you know, back in the day when you had family, it, it was like the griswolds, right? You get in the car, you go like, check things out with your family. And, we were doing like a civil war thing, so we were in, not like southeast, so the Carolinas, Georgia, Virginia, all that stuff. And we were checking out all this Civil War things and there was like a cemetery. Because I like cemeteries cuz I'm, you know, I'm not goth, but I play one on TV and and yeah, it was during the day, so you know, the bees were out, the clover, it was really nice and pretty. And then all of a sudden it's a blood curdling, screaming, crying little brother. Mm-hmm. Because he had flip flops on and he stepped on a bee. So there's a different kind of toxicity in it's not like poison, but it's called pancreatitis. And their pancreas just goes into overdrive and it's usually caused by fatty foods. So a lot of fat. Some dogs can't even tolerate, you know, like duck because it's a fattier Right. Food. We don't give our puppies duck for that very reason. Yeah, no. And they'll get diarrhea and, and dogs have to be hospitalized for pancreatitis all the time. Mm-hmm. Changing food a lot can do that. Yeah. Bacon, you know, you give your dog a little bit of bacon, but if they have a sensitivity, you know, and a penchance for this, then. You know, definitely not good, especially if they got into a whole bunch of bacon, Right. Because there's so much fat and bacon. So you have to really think about the fat content and the food. Too much fat is what causes pancreatitis. Yeah. Or even, you know, cheese, like(mm-hmm) and you think about like a little cube of cheese to a dog(yeah) you know, like a little dog is like eating a giant hamburger or something. Oh yeah. So even just a tiny bit of cheese can be a problem. And then, things like avocado that's high in fat that can cause pancreatitis. Yeah. What the one that surprised me was white bread. Well, that's more of a yeast, right? Uhhuh. It's the, the whole, it is not necessarily pancreatitis as much as, the rising of the, the swelling, I guess. Mm-hmm. You know, it can be a blockage, like because of the, how the yeast, the, what's the word I'm looking for? Expands. Yeah. It rises. Yeah. Yeah. That actually happened to me as a kid. My, my dad taught me how to make like, fried dough. Yeah. And I like to pick at the dough as it was, you know? Mm-hmm. Rising and stuff. Yeah. And I ate so much that my stomach like blew up. Right. And then the thing is, is that with dogs, When their stomach, they get a condition, like especially the large barrel chested dogs, you know, great Danes especially. Mm-hmm. But even labs or whatever. But besides just the, the expansion in the belly, what can happen besides beyond the bloat per se, because that is a condition bloat is torsion- and that is when the stomach bloats and twists. And then you're looking at a life-threatening condition, because the stomach's twisted, you're gonna have necrosis or, or dying(mm-hmm) of, intestines, the colon, et cetera. Because of the torsion, and that can be fatal. Dogs can die from bloat and torsion. Another thing about yeast is that it ferments right. Mm. And what happens when with fermentation? They get drunk? Oh yeah. Alcohol poisoning. Oh, that's a bad one. Uhhuh, you know, we had a dog at our daycare that, you know, we recognized the signs of Bloat and rushed her to the er, and that was what saved her life. Oh, yeah. And from that point on, you know, we, we had in every room, a sheet that, you know, showed the signs of bloat because it's not something that everybody would know. Mm-hmm. You know, we had a lot of experience and we recognized it. Right. And it was a great Dane. Mm-hmm. And then we recently have one of our foster babies who was adopted, so he's a rockstar now, and he's a Mastiff, and his mom recognized bloat and rushed him to the ER and saved him. Yeah. And that poor dog like he is just a hot mess of a dog. And you know what she, she, she gets lemons. She is. She's, she does. But you know what, like. She lives for the dogs. Yes. She's the best dog mom. Yes. I feel like we can safely say that. Yeah. Rachel, we love you. Yeah. I don't know anyone that would go to the lengths she has and you know, she's lucky she can. Yeah. But that dog has had a lot of problems. Right. And then she already has the first one that we, she already knew going in, had a lot of problems with the seizures, so, yeah. Yeah. I I think they're, I think they're like Porsches now, like Yeah. She could have got a Porsche for both of those dogs. Oh yeah, for sure. Maybe a Lamborghini. Yeah. No, we're getting up there. A Lear jet. So one thing that can be really critical to teach your dog is a drop it or leave it command. Because if they are getting into something and you actually catch them, then if you have taught them that command, then perhaps they won't. You know, eat the whatever medication that you dropped or(mm-hmm) or something along those lines. The other day I was getting, satori's medication. She takes a heart medication. Mm-hmm. And sometimes my hands are just clumsy. I don't know, I probably have something wrong with me. But, I dropped the entire bottle of her pills and she inhales things like a vacuum cleaner. And so I was like, no, no, no, no, no, no. And then I'm like, leave it, leave it, leave it, leave it. And she just was like, Looking at me and she's like, okay, and... What's your deal? Crazy lady. And I picked her up and I brought her, you know, into another room and, and there was another dog that I had to shoo away and my husband was helping me, but those pills went all over the floor. And I mean, I don't know what would happen if the dogs ate all of her heart pills. I mean, it would not be good.
