[Ansteorra] MUNDANE DOG SAFETY

[Judie Willey]

I am so happy to hear that snowball will be ok...the other food to beware of
is onions....while garlic is very good for your dog...onions can be deadly
as they thin the blood. Grapes are actually ok, as long as they are the
seedless kind...but dont give them raisins.
