a little and think of what I'll do next to enhance my small business. A couple of
weeks ago - Gilligan and I were out for our usual walk. We'd gone down the road a bit, Gilligan stopped and I assumed he had to do his business. Not paying too much attention, I didn't notice in time that he had actually found a half eaten candy bar and was scarfing it down!

I'd read somewhere that chocolate is bad for dogs so I kept a close eye on him that evening. Within hours - he was acting agitated and soon after - he vomited. It took me way too long to find a vet after hours but, I finally located one and got the help I needed to treat Gilligan. I'm happy to report that Gilligan made it through. It was too close a call. Losing Gilligan due to my negligence would have been devastating.
