Thanks for sharing this with all of us. Also, I'd like to add, if anyone uses nicotine gum or patches, be most careful what kind of trash pail you dispose of them in your home, especially if you have a dog like mine, she loves to go in thbathrooms and do that nasty trash retrieval, my younger dog is a good girl she doesn't do that gross stuff.
My vet and I surmised that was why my old dog got sick for a few days, she had signs of stoking out.
Now I stress to my son and hubby keep bathroom doors closed, and I, only trash that nicorette gum in the snap closed lid on my metal kitchen pail.
We seem to need to worry about our pets like little children. After all, they are our 4 legged kids.
Rhapsody good post, and thanks again for sharing this to all of us.
Take care,
