[Pam]

No I didn't! Thanks for posting that! I only knew about 3 or 4. So much to worry about!!!

[Genia]

I knew about a lot of those plants, but I didn't know azaleas were! Thank you for posting. This is practically Azalea City where I live, actually I think that is the motto of a nearby town. So many of my neighbors have these plants. As a matter of fact, they are so beautiful and easy to care for I had thought about planting some this spring. Thanks for the warning!

That is very informative, Jackie. Thanks for sharing it. All I can say is that they must have to eat a lot of azaleas for them to be toxic, Genia. Because Honey and Lilly tear off new limbs everyday , and so far, so good. We have LOTS of old, established azalea bushes in our backyard.

Wow that's a lot! Good thing Daisy has never been into eating plants. That would just be another thing for her worry-wart Mom to worry about. Just the other night she stole a chocolate brownie and I was in tears worrying about her! Don't worry, the little theif is just fine.

I know many dogs are allergic to plants. The mad thing is somtimes no one knows about it.
