Don't accidentally kill yer dog

My friend, Casey made the brilliant idea that we should eat salad for dinner every night for a month. So I stocked up on the healthy stuff Sunday and got ready for this very challenging task.....which I've already broken with tonight's Filet-o-Fish but at least I lasted a couple days. Well, actually I had salad AND some other veggies, fruit & cake last night for the Wildcats Banquet so, ok, I lasted ONE day. Don't judge me. 

Anyway the reason I'm posting this is because the ONE day (Monday) I did eat salad, I gave Willie & George some raw broccoli but as I gave it to them, I suddenly wondered if that was on the "bad food for dogs" list. Thankfully, two days later, they're still alive 'n kickin and I just came across this article on Yahoo! that actually covers the good & bad people food for puppies. Thankfully (most) fruit & veggies made the "good" list. In the big NO-NO category: chocolate. Which I had a dog + chocolate = scariness experience last week on vacation. But I'll tell you about that later. 

I was surprised to read the real reason dogs eat grass and I'm very glad to know all the hassle I have with brushing their teeth is worth it!
