Dogs and raisins....
I was just forwarded this from a friend....so sad. I really had no idea until recently the amount of foods that dogs can be sick from. I came across a list online and grapes were on it, so it makes sense that raisins are too. If anybody has it, please post it.

This week I had the first case in history of raisin toxicity ever seen at MedVet. My patient was a 56-pound, 5 yr old male neutered lab mix that ate half a canister of raisins sometime between 7:30 AM and 4:30 PM on Tuesday. He started with vomiting, diarrhea and shaking about 1AM on Wednesday but the owner didn't call my emergency service until 7AM.
I had heard somewhere about raisins AND grapes causing acute Renal failure but hadn't seen any formal paper on the subject. We had her bring the dog in immediately. In the meantime, I called the ER service at MedVet, and the doctor there was like me - had heard something about it, but.... Anyway, we contacted the ASPCA National Animal Poison Control Center and they said to give IV fluids at 1 ½ times maintenance and watch the kidney values for the next 48-72 hours.
The dog's BUN (blood urea nitrogen level) was already at 32 (normal less than 27) and creatinine over 5 (1.9 is the high end of normal). Both are monitors of kidney
function in the bloodstream. We placed an IV catheter and started the fluids. Rechecked the renal values at 5 PM and the BUN was over 40 and creatinine over 7 with no urine production after a liter of fluids. At the point I felt the dog was in acute renal failure and sent him on to MedVet for a urinary catheter to monitor urine output overnight as well as overnight care.
He started vomiting again overnight at MedVet and his renal values have continued to increase daily. He produced urine when given lasix as a diuretic. He was on 3 different anti-vomiting medications and they still couldn't control his vomiting. Today his urine output decreased again, his BUN was over 120, his creatinine was at 10, his phosphorus was very elevated and his blood pressure, which had been staying around 150, skyrocketed to 220.. He continued to vomit and the owners elected to
euthanize.
This is a very sad case - great dog, great owners who had no idea raisins could be a toxin. Please alert everyone you know who has a dog of this very serious risk. Poison control said as few as 7 raisins or grapes could be toxic. Many people I know give their dogs grapes or raisins as treats including our ex-handler's. Any exposure should give rise to immediate concern.
you could do orange and black
streamers (i think that is what they are called) like are used at bday parties. Outline your trunk with. Then a really cute idea I thought of was if you could find a scarecrow for cheap or make one that can sit, sit it in your trunk and put the candy on top of it like it is bathing in candy. You could also put a fake pumpkin or real in there on top like it is floating in the water for his rubber duck
could be a weather balloon; they were orange

question about the orange tabby
Is it a male or a female? If you add up all the orange tabbies I have had in my life, living on the farm when I was a kid and also as an adult, there must have been at least 20 or 25, and all but 1 were male. I had actually come to believe that orange tabbies must always be male, kinda like calicos are always female. But that rare female orange tabby was the sweetest cat I have ever known. She was an absolute darling. I named her Precious.
I was just curious.
Orange tabby poll
I have had a couple of orange tabbies that were male also. Hmmm ... others out there?

Cats reportedly don't like orange peels
You could dispose of your orange peels in the areas where they've been going to the bathroom.
I haven't had to try that personally, but I had a neighbor once who swore by it.
Any MTs here from the Beaumont, Port Arthur, Orange, TX, area?

Maybe Cranberry juice could help you?..nm

General Electric Cooper - our orange cat with stripes that looked like (sm)
electricity. I think? What were we thinking of? I always had a vivid imagination and parents were on drugs in the 70s so they probably thought that was hilarious. 
Margarita for me or grapefruit juice with gin
I sure need one today.
cranberry juice or pills?
I don't know if it works on cats, but boy does it work on humans. I would think the pills (if you could get it down the throat) would work better as it would probably take a ton of the juice.
I have heard of cloves and apple juice. nm

Champagne or sparkling grape juice

berry or fruit juice for diets sm
Heard the "free trial offer" for the acai berry (sp) on line is a farce because once you give all the info and agree to the low shipping charge, you are locked into an automatic charge to your credit card of 80 plus dollars. If you try to contact them, the phone number provided is non-operational and you are stuck. Is this berry product available in retail stores? Also, anyone find any pomegrant (sp) juice helpful and who has the best price on it? Need to lose some "winter weight" and it's not even winter yet. Kind of hard when you sit all day - I know, I know - diet and exercise! Told by my cardiologist to walk but recuperating from surgery, so not that active. TIA 
that sounds great, with apple juice,
but would you give me some idea of temp to cook at, and how long it might take to get soft? Do you wait til its done to add cinnamon and brown sugar? God bless, and have a wonderful Thanksgiving.
Does anyone make Juice Pouch purses
I have already made one with 10 pouches, which was a bit too small and not practical for me so it ended up being a container for my daughter's hair bows. They are fun to make and neat looking so I have had my girls and the girls of dd's Girl Scouts save theirs after the meetings for me so I have lots of them now. LOL. I made 2 wallets with gift cards in them for B-day presents for my DD friend's with no problems and they were a hit. Those didn't take but 5 minutes to make. My youngest dd got invited to a B-day party this weekend and I got the bright idea to make a juice pouch gift bag. I thought I would save some money buying a gift bag and usually they don't take long to make, 30 minutes.
The problem I am having now is that the sewing needles keeps coming unthreaded and they keep breaking. I have already broken 3. I did not have that problem with the others I made but this is the first big one. I never read of that problem happening in any of the tutorials I have looked at on how to make them. I am a beginner sewer so I am thinking it could be the machine. I have adjusted the tension all kind of ways and nothing seems to work. The machine I have is a 401A Singer that my aunt gave me. It is from the 1950s. The reviews I have read on this machine have been glowing. It is said to be one of the best machines Singer ever made. However last night I was ready to chunk it and get a new one. (I don't have the money really). Does anyone know what the problem could be with the needle breaking and coming unthreaded. TIA.
Cranberry juice may work better than vitamin....

It smells so good I want to eat it now! Yum.
My son loves fruit juice with vanilla yogurt mixed in, over ice.

A product called 'Fruit Fresh' or simply lemon juice
Drizzled over the fruit that browns will keep it from browning...or at least I think anyway. Never take cooking advice someone who messes up hard boiled eggs.
