Okay, so I know your all thinking what do Pet Poisons have to do with Lesbians? Well, it's like this...a friend of mine had recently sent me an email with a warning about how raisins and grapes are toxic to dogs. It made me realize that there may be quite a few people who aren't aware of how many household items and foods are toxic to animals. So, since many of my lesbian friends happen to have pets, I figured that posting a list of these items might be helpful. (Did you all catch that lesbian tie- in?)

Great blogs, love the information, etc. Keep it up! Heres' a few other items that should be added as toxic to our beloveds... rhododendrons (primarily the flowers), Poinsettas (those plants that come out during the holidays coming up), and cocoa mulch (commonly spread as insulation, fertilizer, and to keep snails out of flower beds).
