What I Learned About Macadamia Nuts
Addendum contributed by Mary Margaret
They're good going down. They're yellow and chunky coming back up. Just thought I'd share that with you. I would have posted a picture but Mom grabbed the quilt too
fast (and the blanket, the sheets, etc.) She just DOESN'T understand that barf is ever so cool in the world of puppers. Maybe next time?
PS - My friends, Abbey Mia and Harper, from New York sent me an email telling me about Macadamia nuts being bad for dogs and that I should NOT eat them. Here's
what else they said I couldn't have. Phooey palooey!
