DH uses that! --------------------------------------------------------- I hadn't read this b4. birch-sugar-is-the-same-thing-as-xylitol-and-its-toxic-to-dogs/

Ah yes, the Pick-A-Gift books. DH would get these from vendors, back when low-key graft was a thing, lol. They were available in varied $ amounts, though the recipient isn't aware of which $level they are selecting from.

Amazing!

Most know about Xylitol toxicity, but we can't know everything that contains it.

I am probably not someone who will put a squeamish warning on a public service post, because that's sort of the point...to get folks to read and become educated about things. I am also not someone taken to post things with gratuitous stories or images of injury or worse. The above was shared as it was potentially germane to another poster's issues, specifically nasal bleeding.

@secnarf - (From FB - I know many know about this, but just in case...) CAUTION CAT OWNERS I wanted to share the horrors we went through for the past 3 weeks. We first noticed drainage coming out of her right nostril. It was mostly clear in nature and she was sneezing quite a bit. We took her to our vet and they thought she had an upper respiratory infection. We gave her antibiotics and went on our way. One week later, the drainage had increased and turned bloody and her appetite was starting to decrease. We called the vet again and they had us come in an pick up another antibiotic/immune boost to add to her food. That Sunday, she stopped eating, stopped drinking, was isolating herself and I noticed she wasn’t going to the bathroom as much. At this point, nothing was helping. She was dying and we knew it. All day Friday I cried and kept thinking about what we had done differently around the house and that’s when it hit me. About a month ago Adam found these really good smelling plug in fragrance wall diffusers. I immediately unplugged them, opened windows and turned on fans. By Friday evening Mit Meow was able to walk to us. Saturday morning she woke me up at 4:45 am meowing and hungry. Her nasal drainage had stopped, she was eating, her balance was improving and she wanted attention. After further investigation we learned that several of these diffusers are toxic to animals and that they have more severe reactions to cats because they are at nose level to them.

@secnarf- I'm sure this is probably an inane suggestion, but if she has a spot that she obsesses about cleaning (licking), perhaps you could put a fractional dose on it to see if she would lick it just to clean it off. Maybe isolate her into a carrier first, so she doesn't spread it around the house with the ick! zoomies? I know, lame.

What a beauty!

Remains to be seen if his um, firehose, is sufficient to quench her thirst.

So truly sorry @secnarf. Wish I had something to contribute. I can't recall if you've sought the advice of a 2nd vet, but if not, you may want to consider it. Sometimes a fresh perspective can help. Continued well wishes headed your way! 🧡

I too thought the crying jag in the car looked pretty real, but I never thought either of them (O & A) were emotionally invested in each other.

Ikr? Prob planning a wedding with Little Craig. Sort of a metaphorical, backdoor workaround.

It may have been, still...

Iv'e always speculated that Bravo or the prod company provided automobiles to the cast as a contract line item, though I don't know for certain. Used to be that Bravo shows were heavy with Range Rovers, no matter the show. White Range Rovers.

I don't really have a problem with any of these women (Madison excepted-not buying this thinly veiled redemption arc), but exactly none of them have a compelling life/storyline for television imo. Same for the men. Despite this episode's conscious effort at steering us away from OGSC (Pat, Whitless, TRav etc.), in an attempt at relevancy for this boring group... ...nah. The forced filming opportunities are so unnatural and not belivable. (Olivia's new guy with Austen - seriously?) JT facetiming his mom while shooting his ass with insulin, on camera? And all these people who pretended to give a crap about Katherine last season(s)- not so much as a mention. Really just a weird show now.

I would think so.

Hopefully, yours will be more useful than mine. 8/10-year old Electrolux w/d (I wouldn't give a nickel for either, no matter how highly rated nor what Kelly Ripa thinks about them, if time travel were an option 😏), and the steam cycle has really only managed to leave me with slightly damp wrinkled garments.

I just paid an extra $500 to have a water heater replaced by a plumber that gave my inner smarm detector the green light, vs. the guy who seemed just okay, and whose details were dull, and follow-up was lax. Don't really have $500 to throw around, but sometimes those characteristics matter.

@AgathaC, I'm sending all the positive thoughts, mojo, and prayers if you don't mind, your way. Pets are family, with all the good, bad, joy and anxiety that entails. Your instincts are the best navigator for how to proceed. Trust in yourselves. 🧡

Braggart! 😏😄

I really have no issue with TS or her dating habits. Just crackin' wise. 😉 If Leo can do it...
