Baby Sitting a Dog? - Page 3

The amounts of anything that are toxic to a dog varies by weight. My 92 pounds malamute ate 2 pounds of milk chocolate while home alone one day. She was very sick for a day or two, but was ok. When I called the vet, he said, because of her weight, she would need 9 pounds of milk chocolate or 2 pounds of baking chocolate for it to be fatal. He had looked it up by weight.

Sammi gets very little people food. Carrots and peanut butter are her treats when we go away. She eats an occasional pancake. She eats whatever else she can get a hold of, but that's not much.

Baily & Rusty love the snow, I have tons of pics of them in the snow from last winter. Snowbell is to small to really take out and let her enjoy the snow, but she enjoys it whenever we do.

They get chciekn about once a week or so, besides that they will get bread or veggies from time to time, but rarely.

I've sat for a cat once...I had to come by and feed it everyday in the morning and again at night. We had fun, I'd lay on the couch and read while he napped on my legs for a couple hours.

I babysat a German Shepherd once - a very intelligent old girl who has since gone to her reward. Casey was a gem to watch, very ladylike, very easy to handle - until there was a thunderstorm!

First, she woke me up with a whimper that I'm sure said, "The world's coming to an end!!!" in dog. I tried to get her in bed with me. No. Went to living room, tried to cuddle with her there. No. Went back to bed, but kept one arm out to pet her. No. Neither Casey nor I slept that night - we watched dvds until she finally went to sleep - 15 minutes before I had to get up!

But it was fun. I wrote a "diary" that she kept while her family was away, and they loved it!

Oh Hell Yes!

He got to play with Mom. Dand, and Aunt, (Zoie, Sebastion, and Sweety). Also everyone else played with Him.

He was a tired Puppy when We got Home. So tired, I didnt see Him till the next morning. Had to look for him and found Him in Dirty Clothes basket.

Hell, I was to full and tired too!

honeychile, what a great story!!!!!
