I'm so glad to hear that both Bandits are doing well!
Mark, we get alerts from Canine Assistants where I volunteer, and just recently learned that artificial sweetners are also toxic to dogs - another thing to add to the list of things to avoid your dog getting into - any food sweetened with artificial sweetners.
CA - is your Bandit a Ragdoll? I have two kitties and avoid poinsettas at Christmas, because they are toxic to kitties!
