This is older news, but I have not seen the topic on a forum.
A state animal Poison Control (http://www2.aspca.org/site/PageServer?pagename=pro_apcc_publicationscocoa) has information on Cocoa Mulch.
Since many of the CG's we stay have have mulch for landscaping, it may be important to know about this and keep our furry friends from eating any. I don't think a little bite will hurt them, but if they were allowed to "graze," it could be bad for them.
On another topic, while at the VA hospital yesterday the PA System announced that the owner of a red pick up truck in lot one was to return to his vehicle with two dogs in it and put the windows down. Yesterday was 78 degrees around here. Wish I had seen the truck. I think he would have had a broken window, or better yet, I would have called the authorities. Texas frowns on that.
Since it's my thread, Also, Texas, Galveston County at least, has a law that any animal riding in the back of a pickup truck has to be tethered to keep it from falling over the sides. Having worked for a veterinarian for 9 months or so, I saw a couple dogs brought in that were raw from being dragged down the highway when they were just tied in the back and not tethered properly.
Anyhow - for what it's worth to you.
