Having neglected this blog for ages, I've been otherwise occupied with an adorable, now nearly two year old Pomeranian, the Bunny Bear. She is one of the friendliest pups one might hope to meet, but a real sidewalk snacker and faster than anything, loves to pick up and chew anything of interest (including zippers, blankets, she can destroy the working end of a pen in less than 10 seconds.)

Something everyone should know about and that I learned the hard way is that there is a thing called "Marijuana Toxicosis". This affects dogs, cats and can also affect children. In the case of my pup who got it in July of 2024, the vet at the Veterinary hospital said that all that would be necessary to set it off was just sticking her nose into a thrown out gummy or the roach of a spent joint. My then far younger puppy went from being happy, running around on leash outside to minutes later having body wide tremors and being unable to walk. She had to have an overnight at the veterinary hospital. Here is something I posted all over the place at the time:

I spread this info because since the legalization of Weed shops, people toss their roaches on the sidewalk and street in much the same way as they do cigarette butts. I'd love to get this issue more widely known as although there have been articles written about it, most people are not aware of the situation.

This is my public service announcement for the love of pets and kids...
