This made me recall a sad case a couple of years ago when a recent tripawd ate a poisonous plant or weed jn their yard. Maybe JERRY can reczll the czw, because it seems like it was sort of a "common" plant or weed.
Hmm. This was more than a few years ago but was it when Gerry ate the yew bush plant? He survived that ordeal, thankfully. Or was it when Frodo ate the toxic plant that grows in Australia?
When we saw a ranch horse go through colic (and later succumb to it), it was a terrible scene. Poor Gigi's mom. She should definitely NOT beat herself up over this.

Yes! Frod is the case I was "somewhat" remembering! So sad. Glad you posted Gerry's too, as I had not known about that shru either.
THANKS
Happy Hannah had a glorious additional bonus time of over one yr & two months after amp for osteo! She made me laugh everyday! Joined April's Angels after send off meal of steak, ice cream, M&Ms & deer poop!
And here's photos of the innocent looking plant

... we'll be leaving early tomorrow morning and Mom is keeping the destination secret ...

Oh dear Teresa, you are the most romantic, imaginative, nostalgic kook (in a very good way) I know!! Are Pedro and Woody in love? Or are they actors having romantic "naps"?
And the most important question - how did I not know Romeo and Juliet were Italian?? Lousy Canadian school system...
You, Pedro and Woody are so much fun. Thank you for continuing to share your travels and feelings of your bond with Eurydice.
Hugs to all,
Kerren, my sweet guy Eli, and my cuddly diva Mona

You even stopped in and visited the country where I was born! 🇬🇧 You’re one of the best Angels ever!!! You do keep yourself busy at that beautiful 🌈 bridge... taking your Mum and your best friends on hoppy holidays, you’re part of the Welcoming Crew and all of your comfort that you give to your Tripawd family is amazing! Thank you for shining down on us all. 💫🌟✨⭐️❤️
