Aloha Friday: No raisins please

When you were a kid what was the one candy you didn't like to receive when Trick or Treating?

For me it was Whoppers and Raisins.

The Dog With Nine Lives

I know Kane looks all innocent but this lazy couch potato comes alive when we leave him alone. He gets himself in trouble and causes me a load of worry from time to time. He eats Will's suckers, can skillfully unwrap a granola bar, makes himself at home on the couch if we don't cover up the cushions, and even opens the cabinet to the trash.

About a week ago he ate an entire box of raisins, and it wasn't a small box. We came home from dinner and discovered he ate raisins and I remembered that my Aunt sent me a email about how toxic they are for dogs. I picked up the phone and called the emergency vet and they said it can be deadly. Raisins are toxic to pets. We had to induce vomiting, if we didn't it could have been fatal. Thankfully he is just fine. Sometimes it really pays off to read those mass emails you receive. Please tell anyone that has a pet Do not feed them Raisins or Grapes! I just hope we can keep him out of trouble and keep him safe, we adore Kane even though he terrorizes our house when we are gone.

P.S. You don't even want to know how to induce vomiting in a dog!
