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.
Here is a list of essential oils not to use if you have a dog at home
Anise (Pimpinella anisum)
Birch (Betula)
Bitter Almond (Prunus dulcis)
Boldo (Peumus boldus)

Mugwort (Artemisia vulgaris)
Mustard (Brassica juncea)
Oregano (Origanum vulgare)
Pennyroyal (Mentha pulegium)
Red or White Thyme
Rue (Ruta graveolens)
Santolina (Santolina chamaecyparissus)

@jimmybuffett Jimmy will be greatly missed. He provided the soundtrack to my childhood summers and many
of my most cherished memories as an adult. During a tough time, I remember sitting on a beach and crying while listening to Wings. Jimmy gave me light and hope. I think he always will.🪽🪽
Look out for four-legged friends on hot days like today.
🚫Don’t leave them in the car
🐾 Protect those paws

Let's talk about Bear.
Bear was rescued in 2021. Soon he was adopted, and off he went. We hoped we'd only see him in happy photos in his forever home, but that wasn't to be.
He returned in December 2022. And, that's where he's been ever since.
Please share for him.

Our pups are busy getting ready for Clear the Shelters.
Bambi has herself a spa day, and as you can tell, she enjoyed it immensely!
This sweet girl is hoping her family will come on Saturday when we waive ALL adoption fees!
When we first posted Sookie 3 months ago, the internet rallied for her. So many people inquired about her adoption, but sadly, everything fell through.
And Sookie is STILL looking for an adoptive or new foster home before her current foster moves.
Why?
That's the question we ask ourselves every week when we post for Wyatt. Why has he waited nearly 1000 days to find his family?
Please share for Wyatt so we can stop asking why and instead we can ask why not. #TuesdaywithWyatt
