Dog lovers - toxic stuffed toys
Posted: Mar 27, 2010
This was posted on one of my dog lists by a vet. An owner brought in his dog who was very sick. The dog had eaten the stuffing from a child's stuffed toy. The vet did surgery to remove the obstruction, and found the entire intestines were black and all the tissue dead. The dog died. The vet tracked down the toy manufacturer to find out what was in the stuffing, and was told they put in a chemical gel pack that acts as a fire retardant.
Since kids don't eat toy stuffing, I guess there's no danger to them - but dogs are another story. My dogs think the stuffing in their dog toys are the best part.

Thanks for the info! - Sunshine State MT
[ In Reply To ..]My little dogs also think the stuffing is the best part. I don't know how many times I have to go throughout the house with my little garbage bag picking up stuffing.
They don't necessarily eat it but love to pull it out! Little rascals . . .

Banning Happy Meal ToysApr 28, 2010
What do you think of this county's plan? Happy Meal toys and other promotions that come with high-calorie children's meals will soon be banned in parts of Santa Clara County unless the restaurants meet nutritional guidelines approved Tuesday by the county Board of Supervisors. "This ordinance prevents restaurants from preying on children's' love of toys" to sell high-calorie, unhealthful food, said Supervisor Ken Yeager, who sponsored the measure. "This ordinance bre ...
Steiff Stuffed AnimalsMay 27, 2017
Hello, All- I've inherited about 30-40 Steiff stuffed animals. I do know they can be valuable, but am having trouble figuring out how to sell them to someone reputable. I am not interested in doing online auctions, but I am interested in at least finding out what they are worth. No matter what kind of Internet search I do, I end up going around in circles, some leading me to Ebay, others leading me to appraisal ads, yet others to Pintrest, telling me a lot of nothing. I know that EBa ...

More Dads Buy the Toys, So Barbie, and Stores, Get Makeovers By STEPHANIE CLIFFORD " Barbies are for girls and construction sets are for boys. Or are they? For the first time in Barbie’s more than 50-year history, Mattel is introducing a Barbie construction set that underscores a huge shift in the marketplace. Fathers are doing more of the family shopping just as girls are being encouraged more than ever by hypervigilant parents to play with toys (as boys already do ...
Need Help With A Recipe - Spinach Stuffed ChickenMay 27, 2012
Tonight I am going to try making spinach stuffed chicken breast and would like to know if this sounds right or what you would do to add or change it. Kind of making it up as I go and here and there from recipes. Thinking about mixing spinach, ricotta cheese, garlic, basil, salt and pepper (don't know if other seasoning would be good). Then pound the chicken breast flat and fill and roll. I want to bake them and thought maybe a cream of mushroom type sauce over them ...
Toxic Friendship?Feb 13, 2012
I would like to ask what people think about my situation with someone whom I had considered to be a good friend. We've known each other for over 20 years, and worked together as MTs for a number of years. We've been to each other's homes for dinner and have done things together socially over the years. She's been a good friend to me, and helped me a lot when I was recovering from surgery on my ankle, for which she's been properly thanked many times.&nbs ...

Christopher Wray has been nominated by the Twitler-In-Chief to replace James Comey as head of the FBI. Wray was Chris Christie's lawyer during Bridgegate & works for a law firm by the name of King and Spalding. That law firm represents the Trump Organization. But if that's not bad enough they also represent the blacklisted Russian state-controlled major oil company Rosneft.

Question For Cat LoversOct 08, 2010

Question For Pet LoversJul 12, 2010
We just lost our 15 year old cat yesterday. We had to have him put down. My daughters and I are devastated. My husband tells us to go out and get another cat. I'd love to get one and plan on actually getting two kittens in the future. I feel guilty going out so soon as Roscoe was part of our family for so long and I don't want it to look like we're replacing him. For those of you who have lost a pet, how long did you wait to get another one.&nbs ...
Just A Reminder For Dog LoversFeb 08, 2014
It's time once again for my favorite event of the year.

MSNBC brings back suspended anchor Keith Olbermann Suspended liberal anchor Keith Olbermann will return to the MSNBC lineup on Tuesday, four days after the cable news network suspended him for giving money to three Democratic politicians. MSNBC said in a statement on Sunday that Olbermann had been punished enough off ...
Message To My Fellow Dog LoversJul 30, 2011
I am writing this to hopefully prevent someone else from feeling the pain that I feel or your beloved pet from suffering unnecessarily. My 8-year-old golden retriever became ill this past week. I googled her symptoms and it led me to a condition called pyometra which I had never heard of. She didn't quite fit the criteria for that so I assumed she had a stomach virus. I tried to make her comfortable and take care of her myself but she wasn't getting any better.& ...
For Animal Lovers (especially Cats) Mar 18, 2013
We have stray cats that come around our neighborhood and we've been feeding them. I know, I know, a mistake, but they were little kittens at the time mostly and so cute. Now that mating season is upon us, I think there are about 2 or 3 pregnant ones. I know I shouldn't have started this, but how do I stop? I don't know if any of the other neighbors feed them or not, and it will make me sick if I see them starving. What to do? Sometimes there are ...
For Cat Lovers, Feeling GuiltyJun 04, 2013
I just found out my 2nd cat in 10 years likely has a cryptococcal fungal infection. The 1st one I did the whole treatment, surgery, biopsy, blood titers, fluconazole (150 bucks a month for a year), cost me over $2000. She got better, but about 6 months later, it came back and I could not afford to treat her anymore. I put all that cost on my credit cards. Well fast forward, I now have another cat with the same thing. Saw the vet (different one) and he wants to do a biops ...

Hillary Clinton's image is worse than at any point since 2008. That's the big takeaway from a new CNN/Opinion Research poll released late Monday. And it's true; 44 percent now have an unfavorable opinion of her -- the highest that has been since June 2008, shortly after Clinton conceded the Democratic nomination to Barack Obama. The new poll also has the distinction of having come just as Clinton's use of a private e-mail account during her time as secret ...
