When I came home today and let the dogs out into our yard (yard being a generous terms for what is really a patio w/ some dirt around it), I noticed them hanging out next to a planter and it looked like they were eating something. To my horror, I found a huge wild mushroom growing next to the planter and it had several small pieces missing and a bunch of doggy teeth marks. I immediately called the vet and they told me to bring both of them in right away. So, Lucy and Charlie Brown are both at the vet right now being forced to vomit because they don't know if the mushroom is toxic and apparently it is very difficult to tell just by looking at the mushroom. I am so lucky that I noticed them eating it. Can you imagine if they had eaten it and I hadn't seen it it? I shudder at the thought. We have never had mushrooms grow in our yard (like I said it is barely a yard) but I am going to go out and search every square inch of it now to make sure there are no other mushrooms. My poor babies!
