  1. SHERRY DAVIS: The peril of owning a 'shop-vac' dog

    By Sherry Davis

    Recently, as I chastised Frank for the zillionth time about eating the mulberries that fall into my yard every year, it brought to mind my first Newfoundland, who likewise would suck up and swallow anything in his path. Or, as I call them: "Shop-Vac dogs."

    And because of this habit for ingesting anything he considered remotely edible, Grizzly ate rat bait that had been set out (without notice!) overnight in an office where he accompanied me daily.

    Although he survived a lengthy and expensive course of treatment, the experience made me very paranoid about common poison hazards to our pets and how important it is to be alert and not take lightly early signs of distress.
