I posted this on my Facebook profile, but not everyone here has the FB.

All dog owners, please read this.

A week ago, I was in the Vet picking up medicine, and I saw a posting on the wall regarding Xylitol.

Xylitol is a sweetener that's used in sugar-free gums, baking products, etc. While Xylitol is safe for people, it is HORRIBLY DANGEROUS to dogs.

Unfortunately, tonight, Macee (our Bichon Frise) ate almost a full pack of Orbit Wintermint - 13 sticks. After calling the local emergency vets (which is 25 min away), they told me to call the ASPCA Pet Poison Control Line (1-888-).

From their directions, we were told to induce vomiting with Hydrogen Peroxide. She vomited, but we only saw 1-2 sticks of gum.

So, right now, Macee is at the emergency vet in Frederick. She was behaving fine, but I'll get her at 7am, and bring her to our vet. They'll be running constant tests and a dextrose drip throughout the night. Low blood sugar is a risk, but so is liver damage/failure.

There are links all over:

Xylitol can be deadly, please spread the word.

So there's this recent ad campaign from Domino's pizza, they show someone answer the door and the pizza guy is there. These commercials infuriate me.

Jackass: "Hey, guess what I did with my 30 minutes"

Pizza guy: "You ordered a Domino's pizza and **insert moronic thing here**"

**retardedness ensues**

Now here's the part that sets me the fuck off. When the pizza guy mentions ordering the pizza in the 30 minutes. NO! WRONG!

The ORDERING OF THE PIZZA CAN NOT BE INCLUDED IN THE 30 MINUTE WINDOW. Ordering the pizza is what CAUSED the 30 minute window to be created in the first place. You could not have the window prior to ordering the pizza.

This is one of those time paradoxes that Doc Brown would try to explain, and you'd be sitting there saying "this is heavy, Doc".

Yes, it's so minor, but god damn it, it infuriates me.

So, I recently ordered something from Pearl Jam's website (shh don't tell Kate), it took FOREVER to ship, and I just got the shipping notification from DHL:

The following 1 piece(s) have been sent by Santos L. Halper of Ten Club LLC via DHL Express on December 17, 2007 using Waybill xxxxxxxxxxxxxx.

Subtle, but hilarious. (Maybe this link helps)

Mood: Doh?
