Pets Can be Addicted too

I had a wonderful dog, a Pomeranian, named Mabel.  While I never smoked in my home Mabel too was addicted to nicotine.  At first I didn't realize it but any time someone lit a cigarette Mabel was right there sniffing at the air.  The day I realized that she was hooked too I made sure she was not around anyone who smoked but unfortunately she was already hooked.  Mabel would actually search for cigs especially when I would take her for a walk; if there was a cigarette on the ground she found it and would pick it up and suck on it.  When all smoking stopped around her I think she had withdrawals but eventually they subsided.

  So, not only is second hand smoke something to be concerned about around other people, it's a concern around pets too.

 This was Mabel; my Heart.

I'm a lover of life and now as an ex smoker life is just getting better. I love to travel and my soul finds its home each time I visit Italy. I have been with my partner now for nearly 40 years and together we are on the quit journey. Awesome!!! I'm a huge Diana Ross fan; never missed a concert since 1978. Friends call me an opened book and I guess with my many posts here you can see that :) Loving this community and the many friends I'm making along the way. (((HUGS)))
