Beware the potential dangers of retractable leashes Apr 15, 2009
Dog owners have to worry about so many things related to keeping their pets safe: Keep 'em away from raisins and chocolate; make sure latches on doors and gates are effective; watch out for pools of sweetly irresistible but lethal anti-freeze; unplug paper shredders when not in use so probing noses and tongues won't activate them.
