Call poison control....

Never a dull moment.   Yesterday morning - very early - we met our buddy Jackson and his human and went for a run on the golf course near our house.  And guess what?  I was let off leash.  And I never ran away.  I was WELL behaved.  No shouting "VIKTOR!!!!!", no racing to get me out of a compost pile, no disappearing into the woods.  I was a GOOD dog. I ran.  I played. I came when called. Velcro dog and I sat and stayed for the obligatory pup-arazzi photos. Two moist (from the wet grass) PONs - the picture of good behavior.  It was a blissful, perfect start to the morning.

And then we came home.  And what did my human discover under the dining room table? No - not more hard candies. She found an ant trap.  One of those metal ant traps.  My human had put two out the night before as it is THAT time of year - and one never knows when ants will decide to make their way into our home.  One trap was placed in a non-accessible dog location, and the other was placed under the kitchen sink.  Well the one under the sink must have somehow fallen on the floor.  And ONE of us found it.  Of course, when the trap was discovered under the table, my human went into panic mode.  It wasn't as if the trap had been ripped open, it just had a few dents - but you know her - she goes bonkers.  Her mind raced and she thought maybe THAT'S why I was so well behaved on our walk.   As if the concept of me actually being obedient HAD to be the result of some chemical substance.  She quickly called the Emergency Clinic - it's a miracle she didn't throw both of us in the vehicle and rush us there. But there was a bit of a problem - who DID it?  Evidence could point to Velcro dog - as he had taken the candies to the same spot the day before...but I was mysteriously in the dining room when my human was getting up that morning.

The Vet Clinic asked for the ingredients on the side of the trap.  Clearly my human needs reading glasses as she had a hard time making making it out.  "Peanuts....wheat...borax..."  They said there was NO problem.  We would be fine - unless we had a peanut allergy. Ahhhhhh.   Relief.   And once again, all was right with the world.

Never a dull moment...let's see what we can do today!
