Adventures with Astrid and the Burning Bush

Astrid wanted to share with you all the burning bush she found on a recent walk. Don't worry, it wasn't literally burning. That's just what these bushes are called, which is a fact I only know because my childhood home has one of these in its front yard.

Astrid of course performed a thorough investigation of the bush. I'd like to think it smelled autumnal and fresh, but she was almost assuredly sniffing another dog's urine.

Happy Wednesday, friends!

Tip of the Day

In yesterday's Thanksgiving tip, we mentioned how it might be best to keep those pecans and that pecan pie out of your furbaby's reach. Today, we're giving a reminder to be cautious with all nuts, especially if you're not sure how they might affect your furbaby. Almonds, walnuts, pistachios, macadamia nuts, and other nuts can all potentially lead to gastrointestinal upset, some potentially causing more severe reactions than others. The possibility and severity of a reaction also might depend on your particular furbaby, and their particular gastrointestinal tract. Some nuts, such as walnuts, macadamia nuts, hickory nuts, and the previously mentioned pecans, can also contain a toxin that affects the nervous system, especially if they become moldy. For reasons such as these, to be on the safe side, it is best to simply keep any nuts, and dishes containing nuts, out of your furbaby's reach. As always, it's always better to be safe than sorry.
