The puppy (well he's one now) has decided to eat the daffodil display that was freshly planted. Actually they were narcissi but who cares. He's now puking as though he's been on a weekend bender.
Nice frothy white stuff.

Be careful out there.

daffodils are poisonous I think. Not sure how they affect dogs though? The bulbs are the most dangerous part.

EDIT http://www.provet.co.uk/petfacts/hea...lpoisoning.htm

Dogs can be indiscriminate eaters, and are often seen eating grass and garden plants. Whilst most plants are not toxic some, such as the Daffodil, can be lethal.

All parts of the daffodil plant (Narcissus poeticus) which is a member of the lily family (Amaryllidaceae) are toxic - especially the bulb. If a dog eats or chews the bulbs, leaves or the flowers it can develop signs of poisoning, including :

Diarrhoea
Vomiting
Staggering
Collapse
Unconsciousness
Coma
Death in a few hours
The most serious signs are only seen if the dog has eaten a large amount but the LD50 (dose at which 50% of animals will die) for dogs is 15g of Daffodil bulbs ...which is not a lot.

The toxins contained in Daffodils are alkaloids including galanthamine and lycorine and there is no specific antidote.

The vet just said he'd puke it out. tbh he's stood waiting for his tea, but as i've got a load of his bedding washing at the moment i'll starve him to be sure.
I think he chewed the bulb up and the left it everywhere in the garden as opposed to swallowing it all, but he is a little blighter for chewing plants up.

Phew! Hope he feels better soon

He's just had 15 minutes on Rother Valley chasing his ball - so all appears to be well,

Molly spent the day refusing to let the workmen come upstairs to use the loo and then took out her frustrations on my very expensive sheepskin slippers, so she's my flavour of the month too.
