Warning for all pet owners

This was sent to me in email and I thought that the world wide web needed to be informed so I'm posting it here. This can be dangerous to children as well.

Recently my neighbor had to have their 5-year old German Shepherd dog
put down due to liver failure. The dog was completely healthy until a
few weeks ago, so they had anecropsy done to see what the cause was.
The liver levels were unbelievable, as if the dog had ingested poison
of some kind.The dog is kept inside, and when he's outside, someone's
with him, so the idea of him getting into something unknown was hard
to believe.
My neighbor started going through all the items in the house. When he
got to the Swiffer Wetjet he noticed, in very tiny print, a warning
which stated 'may be harmful to small children and animals.' He
called the company to ask what the contents of the cleaning agent are
and was astounded to find out that antifreeze is one of the
ingredients (actually, he was told it's a compound which is one
molecule away from antifreeze). Therefore, just by the dog walking on
the floor cleaned with the solution, then licking its paws, it
ingested enough of the solution to destroy its liver.
Soon after his dog's death, his housekeepers' two cats also died of
liver failure.They both used the Swiffer Wetjet for quick cleanups on
their floors. Necropsies weren't done on the cats, so they couldn't
file a lawsuit, but he asked that we spread the word to as many people
as possible so they don't lose their animals.This is equally harmful
to babies and small children that play on the floor a lot and put
their fingers in their mouths a lot. PLEASE, EVEN IF YOU DO NOT HAVE
BABIES, SMALL CHILDREN OR OWN A PET!! PLEASE FORWARD THIS ON! YOU MAY
NOT HAVE ANY CHILDREN OR PETS BUT SOME OF YOU HAVE FRIENDS OR FAMILY
WITH PETS AND ALSO FAMILIES WITH GRANDCHILDREN AND GREAT GRANDCHILDREN! "

K-9 Medal of Honor Winner

The K9 above is Brutus, a military K9 at McChord. He's huge - part Boxer and part British Bull Mastiff and tops the scales at 200 lbs. His handler took the picture. Brutus is running toward me because he knows I have some Milk Bone treats, so he's slobbering away! I had to duck around a tree just before he got to me in case he couldn't stop, but he did.

Brutus won the Congressional Medal of Honor last year from his tour in Iraq . His handler and four other soldiers were taken hostage by insurgents. Brutus and his handler communicate by sign language and he gave Brutus the signal that meant 'go away but come back and find me'.

The Iraqis paid no attention to Brutus. He came back later and quietly tore the throat out of one guard at one door and another guard at another door. He then jumped against one of the doors repeatedly (the guys were being held in an old warehouse) until it opened. He went in and untied his handler and they all escaped. He's the first K9 to receive this honor. If he knows you're ok, he's a big old lug and wants to sit in your lap. Enjoys the company of cats.

Remember that they can't do a lot of things for themselves and that they depend on you to make their life a quality life!

A PET'S 10 COMMANDMENTS.........

1. My life is likely to last 10-15 years. Any separation from you is likely to be painful.

2. Give me time to understand what you want of me.

3. Place your trust in me. It is crucial for my well-being.

4. Don't be angry with me for long and don't lock me up as punishment. You have your work, your friends, your entertainment, but I have only you.

5. Talk to me. Even if I don't understand your words, I do understand your voice when speaking to me.

6. Be aware that however you treat me, I will never forget it.

7. Before you hit me, before you strike me, remember that I could hurt you, and yet, I choose not to bite you.

8. Before you scold me for being lazy or uncooperative, ask yourself if something might be bothering me. Perhaps I'm not getting the right food, I have been in the sun too long, or my heart might be getting old or weak.

9. Please take care of me when I grow old. You too, will grow old.

10. On the ultimate difficult journey, go with me please. Never say you can't bear to watch. Don't make me face this alone. Everything is easier for me if you are there, because I love you so.

~Take a moment today to thank God for your pets. Enjoy and take good care of them.

Life would be a much duller, less joyful experience without God's critters.

~Now please pass this on to other pet owners. We do not have to wait for Heaven, to be surrounded by hope, love, and joyfulness. It is here on earth and has four legs!
