I know some of us talked about our little ones eating acorns and wondering if they were toxic or not and I found out some new information. Acorns are [b][i]very[/i][/b] toxic to dogs! My vet said that they can cause serious health issues including renal failure and death!! I am really worried not cause my Chipoo, Sophie, will not stop eating them. Yesterday we were outside and I had to stop her no less than 20 times. She loves them for some reason. I try to watch here but as you know it is almost impossible to watch them 24/7. Please be careful. She seems fine, but of course since I found this out, I see all kinds of things I didn't before. [:)] So, please watch your babies and don't let them eat acorns.

It was foamy and I think pieces of acorn were in it. As fast as we take themfrom him, he gets another. I don't know how to keep him from eating them. I wonder if it's a Chipoo trait because I never had this problem with Kipper.

Sometimes I think that he and Schatzi (Shih Poo) are part goats. They have chewed up some strange things..................a sanitary pad, toilet tissue, sticks, paper, you name it.
