[HEADING=1][SIZE=4]Meet Parker![/SIZE][/HEADING]
**Hello! It’s me, Parker, the most fun-loving, affectionate 5-year-old Boykin you could ever ask for! I love to follow my foster parents around wherever they go, and I just LOVE to play with a ball or a bumper or any other toy I can put in my mouth! I am a great size at around 35 pounds.

I tend to be a people person and love to be near my chosen one, usually any female who happens to be in the room. I will follow you everywhere! I sleep in a kennel, but I can also be left out and not bother a thing! I love being outside with my people and other dogs. I like to play fetch a LOT! I know all my basic commands and will generally come when called. I like to eat, and I love ice treats. I’m generally a friendly, fun-loving kinda guy who just wants someone to love and care for me!

I get along great with other dogs too! I tend to want to chase cats, but I am working on learning to leave them alone. I’m great at retrieving but loud noises just make me nervous. I have a tendency towards resource guarding--mainly with my toys, which I don’t want other dogs to have! I’m learning to share, but it’s tough!

I would love to find my forever home with someone who wants a loving companion that they can give lots of love and attention to. I’m ok with dogs but know if there are cats or even young children I may get fussy if they take my toys! I’m perfectly fine with older kids who know when I am communicating that I want to be left me alone, and I love their attention just as much as the adults. I am truly a sweetheart and will make someone a wonderful companion and forever friend!

Parker is being fostered in North Carolina.
================
Doesn't mean I'll get him. Have top compete against others who may also want him. There's also a rather indepth interview process. But one can hope.

***DOG OWNERS - PLEASE BE AWARE

Please tell every dog or cat owner you know. Even if you don't have a pet, please pass this to those who do.
Over the weekend, the doting owner of two young lab mixes purchased Cocoa Mulch from Target to use in their garden.

The dogs loved the way it smelled and it was advertised to keep cats away from their garden. Their dog (Calypso) decided the mulch smelled good enough to eat and devoured a large helping. She vomited a few times which was typical when she eats something new but wasn't acting lethargic in any way. The next day, Mom woke up and took Calypso out for her morning walk. Halfway through the walk, she had a seizure and died instantly.

Although the mulch had NO warnings printed on the label, upon further investigation on the company's web site,
This product is HIGHLY toxic to dogs and cats.

Cocoa Mulch is manufactured by Hershey's, and they claim that "It is true that studies have shown that 50% of the dogs that eat Cocoa Mulch can suffer physical harm to a variety of degrees (depending on each individual dog). However, 98% of all dogs won't eat it."

*Snopes site gives the following information: [http://www.snopes.com/critters/crusader/cocoamulch.asp]('http://www.snopes.com/critters/crusader/cocoamulch.asp?fbclid=IwAR0AL1um9JMzDTbTfU-4KRmlXLE3MJFyq_8Ewy-pZACnq7OhJS_dwFaWj0E') .asp>
Cocoa Mulch, which is sold by Home Depot, Foreman's Garden Supply and other garden supply stores contains a lethal ingredient called 'Theobromine'. It is lethal to dogs and cats. It smells like chocolate and it really attracts dogs. They will ingest this stuff and die. Several deaths already occurred in the last 2-3 weeks.

Theobromine is in all chocolate, especially dark or baker's chocolate which is toxic to dogs. Cocoa bean shells contain potentially toxic quantities of theobromine, a xanthine compound similar in effects to caffeine and theophylline. A dog that ingested a lethal quantity of garden mulch made from cacao bean shells developed severe convulsions and died 17 hours later.

Analysis of the stomach contents and the ingested cacao bean shells revealed the presence of lethal amounts of theobromine.

PLEASE PASS THIS ON

Wife Mary passing this information to all our friends now.

Thanks for sharing this alert W
