A warning for anyone taking their doggies to Ostlers 😓

UPDATE
We have the boys back home now but they are looking quite sorry for themselves.
The vet has said this IS malicious poisoning and if we hadn't gotten them straight there, things could have been a lot worse, particularly because of the mushrooms. They induced vomiting and their stomachs are now empty. We have to give them activated charcoal shortly to bind any toxins that may still be lingering in their system.
While they were being treated, I went back and cleared it up but obviously there is no guarantee this is the only pile.
Thank you to those of you who have been supportive and helpful.

Absolutely heartbroken. Some absolute scumbag has left a huge pile of acorns mixed with dog biscuits and mushrooms to entice dogs to eat it at Ostlers woods.
My boys are currently at the vets being made sick to try and stop the effects of the acorns as they re very toxic to dogs.
Please be vigilant. I will be reporting it and cleaning it up but I had to race them to the vets first.
Sorry to anyone who's walk I've had to cut short or cancel today but I need to be with my boys.

LEST WE FORGET OUR FOUR LEGGED HEROS WHO SERVED AS WELL 🕊🐕🐃🐪🐘🐛🐴

Did you know the traditional red poppy worn to mark Armistice Day (Remembrance Day) 11 November, that there is also a purple poppy, remembering animals who served in War.

Working alongside these brave men and women were animals. Animals had a significant role in War.

🐴Mules & horses hauled ammunition over treacherous terrain also carried troops & equipment.

🐕Dogs were used as messengers, to guard valuable military equipment, as bomb detectors, and for search and rescue missions. A dogs senses would pick up the hum of enemy planes two minutes before any soldier. Just before a deadly bombing, his signal of sitting, barking and then dashing for the trenches, would give precious time for all the soldiers to run for cover.

🕊Carrier pigeons delivered messages to specific destinations and were said to be the most dependable way of sending a message during the war.

🐛Collected in jars, Glowworms provided much needed light in the trenches for officers to study battle maps and soldiers to read their letters from home.

🐪🐘Other animals were also seen on the battle fields.

Today we recognize the importance of both humans and animals who had and continue to serve.
