Everytime I buy trail mix, I have to fend off the little buggers. I've left them in the car after grocery shopping only to come back to find they've unerringly located the one bag out of ten that had the trail mix. That said, I let them have tiny slivers of all the dried fruit. Tiny, tiny slivers. Papaya and pineapple seems to be the favorite. I hadn't hard about ferrets & raisins, but I did hear about dogs and raisins. I switched to craisins. The nice plump cranberries that have been- Well whatever they do to make raisins. I buy the cherry flavored ones and mine are crazy for them. They actually pout if I somehow forget to give them their morning treat. It's the first thing the new ones learn- wake up, get kisses, get a craisin. *Then* destroy the house and torment the dog. :-) anne [Posted in FML issue 5158]
