WARNING TO ALL PET OWNERS!
Yesterday my wife and I had to put down our 15 month old White Boxer. The reason is 2 weeks ago I sprayed my fence with Thompson’s Water Sealer and where the over spray was on the grass at the bottom of the fence Rascal must have been eating for at least a week before he showed any symptoms.
This stuff is TOXIC!!
It started with vomiting, we took him to the vet. Where they hooked him up to IV and Meds. But this stuff was too toxic for him to fight and his organs started to shut down. There was no warning label to pet owners only if you (the human) drank it ( like someone is going to drink it!) My wife and I are contacting Thompsons in the morning in hope of them putting another label on there for pet owners, so no one will ever have to go through this again!!!!

Locked up dog dies, puppy survives without food, water
TAMPA – Hillsborough County Animal Services investigators are looking into how two dogs came to be locked in an apartment bathroom without food or water while the man who leased the apartment left for two weeks.
An adult female poodle was dead but a 5-week-old female boxer was alive when investigators from Animal Services were called Saturday morning.
The boxer puppy, nicknamed Neicy by Animal Services, has an injured leg; an eye condition called “cherry eye”; coccidium, a bacteria infection dogs get when they eat food from a floor with feces; and is thin, said Marti Ryan, spokeswoman for Animal Services.
The dog will survive and be immediately placed into foster care, Ryan said.
Ryan said the man called a friend and asked him to check on the dogs. When the friend went to the apartment at Preserve at Deer Park in Lutz, the leasing agent opened the apartment and found the animals, then called Animal Services and deputies about 10:45 Saturday morning.
Investigators with Animal Services have not been able to reach the 35-year-old man who rented the apartment or the friend summoned to check on the dogs, Ryan said.
“This is certainly not the way to board your pets while on vacation,” Ryan said.
The Hillsborough County Sheriff’s Office is also investigating, and Animal Services investigators expect to file charges, Ryan said.

Blown-away Chihuahua reunited with owners
WATERFORD TOWNSHIP, Mich. – Tinker Bell has been reunited with her owners after a 70-mph gust of wind picked up the six-pound Chihuahua and tossed her out of sight.
Dorothy and Lavern Utley credit a pet psychic for guiding them on Monday to a wooded area nearly a mile from where 8-month-old Tinker Bell had been last seen. The brown long-haired dog was dirty and hungry but otherwise OK.
The Utleys, of Rochester, had set up an outdoor display Saturday at a flea market in Waterford Township, 25 miles northwest of Detroit. Tinker Bell was standing on their platform trailer when she was swept away.
Dorothy Utley tells The Detroit News that her cherished pet “just went wild” upon seeing her.
SO IF YOU HAVE A SMALL DOG, MAKE SURE HE IS ALWAYS READY IN CASE THIS MIGHT HAPPEN, SEE THIS LITTLE GUY WE MET AT BARK IN THE PARK THIS YEAR… WE SAY HE IS TOTALLY READY, BRING IT ON!!!!!!!!!!

There will be dogs, puppies, cats and kittens of all sizes, age and color looking for their very own forever home. While you’re there you can shop at the many vendors who will have animal-friendly items available for purchase or donation. We hope you can join us!
