Max's O.D. scare


We never thought it could happen to us... proud parents of a beloved usually well behaved miniature schnauzer. But Meg came home from grocery shopping to find our dog Max in a frenzy, running sprints upstairs, yelping out of control, running into walls, and having his hind legs give out on him. On further inspection, Meg found that Max had gotten into her sleeping pills (useful when she works night shift). This particular class of drugs are also used as muscle relaxants thus explaining his legs giving out. What was not expected was his out of control energy bursts, as people who overdose on these drugs usually sleep it off for a few days. After a few calls to the vet and poison control our fears were alleviated. Eventually the effects of the drug wore off and Max made it through the O.D. scare. Needless to say we've enrolled Max into the Malibu rehab center where both Britney and LiLo have recently been treated... we just hope the outcome in his case is better. This should serve as a reminder to all thats it never to early to teach your young ones to just say no.

Poor Max...don't let him get to the point where he goes to the salon and shaves his own head!! It's a long road back, but he can do it!! :)
