Tonight I had to call Poison Control for the very first time ever. (And as nice as they are, I hope the last).
Miss Pear pulled a substantial amount of leaves off my Jade plant and then bit/partially ate one leaf.
I know it is non-toxic, but when I saw the results I was suddenly very unsure, so I called...my motto is better safe than sorry.
The nice man assured me that it was okay, and told me that he did the same thing as a child...to his grandfather's plant. So while she might have a bit of an unhappy tummy, she will be fine.
Oh sure, she is going to be fine! Scared 10 years off my life, but she will be fine.
Sigh.

I would have done the same thing... suddenly lost 10 years from my life and second guessed toxic or not!
YIKES! Thanking God she chose that plant for a snack and not another type!
Here's to a much more relaxing and boring day.... :-)
Your heart just stops, doesn't it? Mine did when Red Chief ate dishwasher soap and started throwing up. It was scary, and I was afraid to call Poison Control, too, in case I got in trouble. They were really nice, though, and everything turned out all right.
I still don't know how he managed to open that bucket. I can barely get it open. But now it resides behind a locked door, so no matter.
