| I'm always surprised how many people feed their dogs things on the list or previously discussed just b/c they seem to do fine with it. I guess I can feed my kids a little insecticide every night if they say the taste is awesome, and they don't get diarrhea or throw up. |
I find myself wondering if the ADD/ADHD drugs were accidental, or if kids are slipping them to the dog to avoid taking them    You know, like broccoli, under the table  |

You know, like broccoli, under the table Based on my dealings with many parents of kids with ADD/ADHD, the parents tend to put the pill or capsule on the breakfast tables and expect the kids to take them. The kids fail to do so (they need frequent reminders or a very structured routine), so the family pet takes it when he/she tries to get the breakfast leftovers. |
