Our adorable Granddog had to be put down today. she was only 9 years old and my daughters loyal and constant companion. It started months back when she developed cancer on her toes. The last few weeks it has been seizures getting closer and closer together.

In conversation with my daughter the subject of spraying fertilizers and weed killers on her lawn regularily thru the years came up. I suppose we will never know what actually killed our little girl but It certainly has me thinking. Are our pets really safe even walking on our lawns that are constantly treated with chemicals? This is very frightening and I am not sure how we can completely avoid contact with the grass.

poor sweet little Ashlee, RIP

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
