no, this is not the name of a band featuring aging punk-rockers who couldn't afford facelifts (but think about it for a second, because Mick and Keith and the gang could totally got by the name Toxic Raisins).
In fact, did you know that raisins are toxic to dogs? Well it's a good thing that hypochodriac-extraordinaire and dog-Munchhausen-by proxy lover Mortimer's Dad knew. Becasue you guessed it, Mortimer stole and then ate 4 medium sized boxes of raisins yesterday. So now, he is staying for the second half of his 48 hours of observation and IV to make sure he didn't ruin his kidneys...... yeah! The vet hospital just LOVES us and our incident-proned dogs!
Poor Mortimer! Hope he is ok.
btw, Mick can not only afford face lifts, he is three operations away from becoming Joan Rivers' stunt double.

I had no idea! I knew about chocolate and onions, but I had never heard of raisins. I hope Mortimer feels better soon!

grapes are also a problem due to the fact that raisins and grapes are the same thing...only one is dried. a lot of people don't seem to connect that fact.
