A FRIEND JUST SENT ME THIS SO PASSING IT ON.

just in case you're not aware...
my uncle just phoned from Dublin to let me know about a radio interview that was just on RTE. a man phoned in to say that he had just lost his weimaraner puppy to a plant that was brought in to their house from TESCO to add to their christmas cheer. turns out it's not so cheery.they put the plant on their window ledge and went off to bed as usual later that night. a few hours later they woke to a loud cry, ran downstairs and found their pup dead on the floor. it had eaten a couple of the cherries, and died instantly. his friend, who is a vet, told him that had he been there, he couldn't have saved the pup owing to the deadliness of this plant to our little friends. so, if you have one of these plants, get rid of it. apparently there's a health warning on the label, but it's printed in very, very small writing. also, as this man said, if it's for sale in a big store, you sort of trust it automatically. sad story, but hopefully the result will be that more will be saved.
please forward it on to any dog people (also toxic to kids)
