Warning!! Very Scary!!!


Recently someone had to have their 5-year old German Shepherd dog put down due to liver failure. The dog was completely healthy until a few weeks ago, so they had a necropsy done to see what the cause was. The liver levels were unbelievable, as if the dog had ingested poison of some kind. The dog is kept inside, and when he's outside, someone's with him, so the idea of him getting into something unknown was
hard to believe. My neighbor started going through all the items in the house. When he got to the Swiffer Wetjet, he noticed, in very tiny print, a warning which stated 'may be harmful to small children and animals.' He called the company to ask what the contents of the cleaning agent are and was astounded to find out that antifreeze is one of the ingredients (actually, he was told it's a compound which is one molecule
away from antifreeze). Therefore, just by the dog walking on the floor cleaned with the solution, then licking its own paws, it ingested enough of the solution to destroy its liver.
Soon after his dog's death, his housekeepers' two cats also died of liver failure. They both used the Swiffer Wetjet for quick cleanups on their floors. Necropsies weren't done on the cats, so they couldn't file a lawsuit, but he asked that we spread the word to as many people as possible so they don't lose their animals.
This is equally harmful to babies and small children that play on the
floor a lot and put their fingers in their mouths a lot.

PLEASE, EVEN IF YOU DO NOT HAVE BABIES, SMALL CHILDREN OR OWN A PET;
TELL EVERYONE YOU KNOW! YOU MAY NOT HAVE ANY CHILDREN OR PETS BUT SOME OF YOU HAVE FRIENDS OR FAMILY WITH PETS AND ALSO FAMILIES WITH GRANDCHILDREN AND GREAT GRANDCHILDREN.

Bye Bye Tonsils!!

My sweet little Addisen had to have her tonsils out this week. I can't even begin to tell you how proud I am of her! She was so brave! We had to be to the Hospital at 5:30am on Monday. The nurse took her weight, height, blood pressure ect. and then gave her the hospital jammies to put on. She definitely wasn't excited about those itchy hospital clothes. After that they gave her some "happy juice" which made it easier for her to be taken away from us to prepare her to have the anesthesia. After about 5 minutes of drinking the "happy juice" medicine she started acting so funny! She was making the silliest noises and saying the funniest things...that's when you need your movie camera for Americans Funniest Home Videos! After that they took her back to remove her Tonsils and Adenoids, I sat and waited for her to come to her room after the surgery, and I know that it is a very common and routine surgery, but it still felt like forever before they brought her to me. She was just such a sweet heart and so brave,(much braver than me that is for sure!!) I hope that now she won't be so sick and will be able to sleep better!


Sorry about the quality of this picture, it was taken with my cell phone before they took her back for the surgery.
