She rushed to eat as much grass as she could, so I presumed she was trying to make herself vomit. I sat on the steps watching her and making soothing sounds. Looking inside, I thought there was part of a shoelace there, but there are no rogue shoelaces in this house. The limp thing was a stem from a coleus plant. I've read lists of plants that are harmful to children and animals, but I couldn't remember any of them at that moment. Kacey seemed fine, so we went to bed and had a good night's sleep. After walking this morning, I went into emergency gardening mode. I cut the larger plants and put them in water to root on the railing where the dog couldn't get to them. The lower parts I planted outside, again where she wouldn't be able to reach them. When I knew the emergency was over, I consulted Alexa. She told me that some coleus plants are harmful to cats, dogs, and horses. | | | |  | You can also reply to this email to leave a comment. | | | | |
