DANGEROUS "PEOPLE FOOD"
DANGEROUS "PEOPLE FOOD"
Grapes and Raisins: Grapes and raisins can cause kidney failure in dogs. As little as a single serving of raisins can kill a dog.
Onions: Onions destroy red blood cells and can cause anemia.
Chocolate: Chocolate can cause seizures, coma and death. Bakers chocolate is the most dangerous. A dog can consume milk chocolate and appear to be fine because it is not as concentrated, but it is still dangerous.
Coffee, Coffee grounds, tea and tea bags: Drinks/foods containing caffeine cause many of the same symptoms chocolate causes
Macadamia Nuts: Macadamia nuts can cause weakness, muscle tremor and paralysis. Limit all other nuts as they are not good for dogs in general, their high phosporous content is said to possibly lead to bladder stones.
Exception to this rule is PEANUTS and PEANUT BUTTER. However- always use Salt/Sugar free Peanut butter (sugar encourages cancer growth) free . Also USE ORGANIC peanut butter as regulary peanut butter has lots of toxics.
Excessive Animal fat and fried foods: Excessive fat can cause pancreatitis.
Bones: Bones can splinter and damage a dogs internal organs.
Tomatoes: Tomatoes can cause tremors and heart arrhythmias. Tomato plants and the most toxic, but tomatoes themselves are also unsafe.
Avocados: The fruit, pit and plant are all toxic. They can cause difficulty breathing and fluid accumulation in the chest, abdomen and heart.
Nutmeg: Nutmeg can cause tremors, seizures and death
Apples, Cherries, Peaches and similar fruit: The seeds of these fruits contain cyanide, which is poisonous to dogs as well as humans. Unlike humans, dogs do not know to stop eating at the core/pit and easily ingest them. It can also become lodged in the intestines and kill the dog in 24 hours with no warning.
Raw eggs: Raw eggs can cause salmonella poisoning in dogs. Dogs have a shorter digestive tract than humans and are not as likely to suffer from food poisoning, but it is still possible.
Salt: Excessive salt intake can cause kidney problems.
Food that most dogs can eat:
Some human foods are good for dogs. Most of these are healthier than the boxed treats you buy in the grocery store. . This is just a small list of examples of foods dogs can eat, not a list of every food they should eat. Dogs wont necessarily get all the nutrients they need if they eat these foods exclusively, so check with your veterinarian if you are interested in feeding your dog a home cooked diet.
Any food that causes stomach upsets or digestive problems in your dogs should be avoided. Like people, some dogs cannot tolerate certain foods
Meats:
Meats should be boneless and its best if the skin is removed. Raw meat a good idea because of the small risk of food poisoning and parasites.
Skinless, boneless chicken breast
Skinless, boneless turkey breast
Fish: do not feed TUNA as high mercury content - be careful of small bones.
Vegetables:
Dogs have shorter digestive tracts than humans and cannot digest most vegetables whole or in large chunks. Its best to put them through a food processor before giving them to your dog- best veggies for your dog are:
Carrots (for healthy dogs) (not for cancer dogs though as high in sugar)
Green Beans
Lettuce
Yams
Grains:
Grains should not be given in large amounts or make up a large part of a dogs diet, but these foods are generally safe in small amounts
Rice
Bread (not white breads or anything sugar or that converts to sugar) remember the simple rule feed no WHITE colored foods!
Dairy products
Use caution with dairy products as they are high in fat and can cause pancreatitis, gas and diarrhea. Usually, nonfat plain yogurt is safe in small amounts as is cottage cheese in small amounts.

Sept - Video of Goobii & Geebii
- Goobii mini bear tug of war .... b4 geebii is around... a fierce fight...
- Spinning using big bears... to make geebii confuse...
- Feb up of using bear.. trying two toys to distract geebii... & using hand instead.. but end up fighting with geebii using the bear. Goobii also behind the scene.
- Tired of spinning around... just use laser pointer is good enuff
~All these video is proof of mummy & daddy trying to make me (Geebii) tired so that I can go and sleep peacefully at night and will not disturb them and korkor (Goobii) .
Somehow, I really become exhausted after much spinning around and chasing after a stupid red dot. *Stupid me (Geebii)*
=D
Xiao La Jiao AKA GeEbii - The Little Chilli Padi.
Bear & Geebii were good friends... Geebii is a xiao la jiao at home. She always love to bite goobii tails and backside. So often that she will just bite anything on the floor and even my MOTHER foots & toes and sometime mummy GIE fingers. She is a chilli padi who refuse to surrender and always want to argue back or bite back at people fingers.
She is irresible cute , little , chilli , padi , super noti and hyper but she has some good points...
Whenever she pee or poo in the room, she will walk over and nibble daddy GEO fingers or mummy GIE, just to inform that she had pee and poo need a wash. Today was good, she know that we were sleeping. She went to bed and sleep instead. Only when daddy GeO is awakes then she rush over to lick and nibble fingers again to tell daddy that he poo.
Such a gooood girl ... Oh ya... she also know how to knock the door to ask us to open the room door for her to enter... *CUTE rite..*
Some old video updates
Video is taken quite sometime back... this happens when goobii was still young and always love to jump on my bed to sleep...
seeing that he did that again ... I purposely dump all the pillow on him so that he has all the burden on him while sleeping...
Serve him right... for sleeping on my bed without my permission.
Anyway I love the way he do stretching.. just like a CAT ... heehee..

Last night mummy complain tht Geebii smell very bad and daddy immediately give her a nice bath, she keep shivering after the bath, poor gal... it reminds me of my young days.
After Geebii is done with her bath, mummy tried to dry her but she keep shivering that made mummy very worried and she has does not have any experience taking care of baby dogs. Mummy dun worry, last time when i was only a baby i shiver alot too after my bath. U know is cold :)
I didn't know that i need a good bath too as i think i smell good... haha but daddy insist that i have to bath if not i am not allow on their bed... ohh well...ok, i miss the daddy's bedroom since i am sick being with Geebii for the past 2 nights sleeping in the uncomfortable, dark, no air-con kitchen, and of cos no daddy and mummy. As usual daddy will bath me and mummy will dry me, but this time mummy try to dry me while trying to stop Geebii from biting my legs. I could feel mummy feeling extremely sad seeing me being bully. I feel safe in mummy's arm and seeing her trying to stop geebii. I think mummy was too sad and had enough, the next time i know i heard a sharp scream from geebii with protest. Ohh mummy gave geebii a slap on her butt for being naughty. Poor geebii, but i think she deserve it for being naughty...heehee! :)
I am finally back in my rooms after 2 night of nightmare, and geebii was alone in the kitchen as mummy couldn't bare to see me being bully anymore. Lucky me.
Well i hope geebii will learnt her lesson, if she stop biting me i promise i will try to get along with her.

My daddy was so nice to bring me gai gai and we fetch mummy at about 6pm.
My mummy was so excited and she keep telling me tht i will have a mei4 mei4 soon.
I was abit worried but thot they are just joking cos they always tell me the same things and yet nothing happen.
We went to this uncle house, and saw a tiny, black wawa. I think my mummy loves it as she keeps patting tht tiny. *ANgry*
And i am very scare cos uncle house got another retriver... arrghhhh i hate dogs.
I am not happy and i am jealous cos mummy only love me... no cannot. It only took my daddy and mummy 15mins and they really decided to bring tiny back...
They keep saying tht tiny doesn't look like 2mths but uncle insist it is... i dun think so too.
I wanted to cry as i saw mummy slowly put tiny into the purple basket and before i can show my disappointment, we are back home.
I hate it when daddy force me to stay in the kitchen with tiny for a week (or ya, mummy rename tiny as Geebii).
*sob**sob* daddy say i got to stay with Geebii till we are friends, i really don't want.... and Geebii keep biting my tails and legs...someone pls help me.
This Blog is so quiet, like Goobii got nothing to update...
It was all becos my mummy was too busy with her full time job, part time job also freelance job, and daddy lazy to help me to blog... *sob*
But guess i will try to update more when mommy and daddy are not so busy.
