Beware sugar substitutes – could poison your dog!
Sharing a message from Spain with you.
Just a warning the new sugar substitute Xylitol is poisonous to dogs one teaspoon will kill a GSD, this advice has come from UK vets. It is also in some processed foods/candies and sweets, for example Orbit Gum so please be aware, it acts like giving a dog insulin and there is no antidote. So if you have 2 teaspoons in you tea/coffee and the dog drinks it you have a serious problem on your hands. It can cause liver failure for the dogs. Please share as widely as possible.
Have to say our dogs never drink our drinks

Holidays in Toledo – hotels in Toledo……
You may remember Caramelo, dying underneath a tree in a village near Toledo. Rescued by Baas Galgo and now transforming into the beautiful galgo he is. This is another one found in the same village outside Toledo. He’s been named Sugus. Here’s what Baas Galgo say.
‘Cursed is the man who has deny you his support during the days that you are in these conditions. Leticia has stopped the car and has picked you up, you were walking this morning under a downpour, you were shivering, frightened, killed by the pain, wandering aimlessly…….. bastard who threw you away!

Hounding Misery part 3 – Nano Calvo
Here is the third part of the articles written by Nano Calvo. Link here for part 2 and part 1 . A couple of points – running dogs from motor vehicles is again law in Andalucia – the Junta voted to reinstate it in 2011. The trainer also displays the arrogance of the hunting and racing fraternity – the unwanted dogs will be adopted in other countries! Still these people refuse to deal with the issue of overbreeding and mass abandonment. Beautiful photos by Nano Calvo.
