Sparkleberry Crunch

[judifilksign]

 Sparkle ate ten berries from a bush/tree in our yard. After a call to poison control and a trip to the garden center, we determined they were hawthorn berries. They may or may not make her sick to her stomach, will either make her wired or drowsy, and are not poisonous unless she is allergic to them. I am shaky and upset after my trip to the garden center. Sparkle is unrepentant about eating the berries.

I am reminded of walking down the road with cadhla in Maryland, around Conterpoint when she casually remarked "the berries by the side of the road here taste like burning!" and I turned, appalled and said "Those are poisonous! How many did you eat?"

Apparently in CA all red berries are safe, and here they're really not. Thankfully no stomach pumping was required.

I'm glad Sparkle is okay.

Wow. Glad she was okay!
