i'm so sorry for the loss of your granddogs and truly sickened by the story. i am fighting back tears as i type this, i just can't imagine losing my entire furkid family in one fell swoop. this is completely outrageous and i applaud you for taking immediate action.
as Eric said, parks can be very dangerous for pets because of toxins, bacteria from non vaccinated animals and anything humans can leave behind for animals to find. a dog in my local park nearly died just weeks ago from eating some marijuana she found by a park bench. the owner didn't see what her dog had eaten and it was probably such a small bud it wouldn't have been noticed anyway. the blood panel came back with the evidence and the owner warned us all to keep a closer eye on what our dogs are doing when we walk.
while you are on the subject of city poisons Lloyd, have you ever seen a city vehicle spraying some kind of weed killer along the roadsides? on my residential street i saw one moving slowly like a street sweeper and spraying something over the grass and dirt surrounding palm trees. Kira's puppy used to love to grab the palm seeds from those areas when he was younger and i had no idea at the time that city vehicles were spraying something on them. i should have tried to find out what that was and move on it like you have with the rat repellent. thanks so much for your post
