Dog Poisoned by the Diffuser
Saturday night I got home late and my dog didn't recognize me. Being a nanny I thought I woke him up and he was having a night terror. Sunday, he was still acting weird. I realized that I had been running my new diffuser and decided to turn it off. Sunday afternoon, he was feeling better.
Today at work, my dog sitter said that he wouldn't come out from under the bed. It was very odd as he is a happy dog.
I came from work early and again, he was very confused about who I was.
So I took him to emergency vet.
It turns out that the tea tree oil I was using in the diffuser is toxic for dogs. Thankfully the test showed that his liver was ok but we weren't out of the woods yet. He was given fluids under his skin to get the toxins out.
The vet and the poison control are saying that they see these cases often now that the popularity of essential oil is growing.
Please make sure that the essential oils you are burning are not toxic for your pets.

Anise (Pimpinella anisum)

Margaret Thatcher was the WORST Prime Minister EVER.
She forced the UK into 10 years of hyper inflation and huge unemployment, slashed taxes for the rich to nothing and sold off ALL the state assets.
And achieved NOTHING. RT if you agree.
Everything she did needs undoing.
Girls in Iran continue to defy hijab laws. A group called “The Smarties” who dye their hair and walk around without hijab have been drawing international attention.
On one excursion, a police officer warned one of the Smarties, Mahla (blue hair) about not wearing a hijab and scarf. She immediately told him she was transgender, and the shocked officer let her go. It wasn’t true, but it was a necessary lie to stop the harassment.
Regime: it’s 2023. You cannot control people with force anymore. The women are done. They’re being kind with these symbolic protests.
These are but 4 out of millions. And the men back them up.
Are you going to kill them all? ⬇️
I have a confession !
Last season @Heineken asked me and @jillscottjs8 to swap Twitter accounts as part of a social experiment to see if men and women are treated differently online . What happened was unfortunately predictable ! An important reminder that gender bias should have no place in our game . #fresherfootball #Ad
Tennessee House subcommittee members had state troopers physically remove gun safety activists who quietly held signs from a hearing.
We bow down to this woman who - visibly shaking - said: “You will have to drag me out.”
Moms will win.
