5. A cautionary tail

I speak from experience: be sure you don't allow your Lab to get hold of any weed! Our then-1-yo black Lab (now 7 yo), must've eaten some (a bud? a joint?) off the ground during a walk in our neighborhood. Later that evening, he suddenly started exhibiting signs of a stroke: falling over, unable to get up from the pavement, peeing in the house (he never did that). After an emergency visit to a university vet hospital, they recommended neurological tests and an overnight stay. He was discharged the next morning, after vets didn't find anything wrong with him. They did say it was more than likely that he was stoned. That was the conclusion, $1,700 later.
