I went to use the restroom and came right back to find my mom with a piece of dog jerky in her mouth. I asked her what she was doing with a dog treat in her mouth. She said she was giving it to the dog and made a show of giving it to him, then proceeded to take a bite of it. I said mom that’s a dog treat you aren’t supposed to eat it and she looked at me with a really mean look on her face and said why not, there’s nothing wrong with it! After she ate she yelled at me for making her eat it! I’m guessing I now have to start hiding things?
That conjures up a image of a menacingly insane person in my mind. Seems to me it's time for her to be placed in a facility. There are too many things in your house that she could put in her mouth but shouldn't. What if she puts things in YOUR food when you're not looking?
Take other precautions as well. Remove the stove knobs, lock up all the knives, and cleaning supplies. I'm sure there are more but that's what comes to mind right now.
I have my fingers crossed you hear good news from the facility soon!
made the news? Well it happened. And no harm was done to the seniors.
Ever since then the FDA has had a law on the books to ensure that dog food is in fact safe for human consumption. But after recent news about Chinese dog food containing dangerous additives. Just to be safe I would read the label to see where it was made.
And I have read online that Canada actually suggests that people carry dog biscuits in their vehicles during winter in case they get stranded by the weather rather than carry normal human food items. Dog biscuits require less storage space. And will discourage people from eating all of their emergency rations too soon. This is because it may take days before for rescue to reach them.
I would, however, hide spices and seasoning since overdosing on some of those could be disastrous. Think intoxication on vanilla, choking on cinnamon, etc.
By the way, my wife ate a little sausage treat that came with a sack of dry dog food with no health problems, just gagging and coughing when I told her what it was. I was actually hurt more because of laughing at her reaction.
